At a farm auction I bought a very nice Crown Graphic with a Graflex Optar f4.7 135mm, a Rolleiflex F3.5 with a Planar 3.5 that has both waistlevel and Porro? finder w/original lens cap. Not to stop there, got a Beseler 4x5 enlarger (older model), a D5XL Omega enlarger, 6 Tominon brand enlarger lens, a Leitz GmbH 50mm 4.5 enlarging lens a couple Rodenstock enlarging lens.

Got a 127mm Rodenstock Ysaron F4.7 127mm mounted in a Polaroid Prontor shutter, 4 (that appear to be brand new) Copal shutters still in Copal plastic with silica gel, that are pretty small. They don't have flash sycn. and go up to 250 of a second...these look cheap....?

Also got 15 Riteway holders, 13 of them are real nice. several darkroom timers, safelights, and some stuff I haven't even figured out what it is yet.

Almost forgot the Speedotron light three setup.

All in all a good day.

Mike

Should have mentioned a lot of small darkroom stuff came with the deal. Enlargers and darkroom was one lot, camera's and strobes were separate lots. Total spend was under $320.

Shit! People spend that much (or more) on the Rollei alone

Found a Bausch & Lomb 158mm F6.3 Macro.....I'm assuming this is a enlarger or process lens (small lens F6.3 to F45)?

Thanks,

Mike

Your tominon lens set may be for a polaroid mp4 copy camera,if so these are meant for macro work,do they go from 17mm to 150mm?

Nice farm!

Down here in SEMO, the farms tend to grow rusty broken stuff, and Kodak instamatics.

Nice find/buy!
