I have a pocket I can put it in, but it isn't getting much use. It is a bit rough. The front is held by friction of the 2 side screws, it works. Focus is a little rough. If you are looking for a light, small 4x5 that you can throw at a bear while it is chasing you and not fret for a moment, this is it. Lens is a little long for this camera, you will need something else to do macro work.

I'll include some expired film, 100ish or 400ish speed you choose and some holders.

$225 Shipped
Trades for 8x10 film holders in good shape.

Buy it before I change my mind.

You adjust the tension for the front focus with four screws under the front block.

They usually came with a second rail section (for 12.5 to 16 inches of total extension).

Quite the deal!

Vaughn: Hmmm, this rail is almost 9" and the bellows go 2x that I would guess. I don't have any extra parts. I'll play with the focus screws, thanks for the tip.

O-F-N:Lens is part of the deal, but the price was wrong, correct now... and still a good deal.

I still have a 90mm SA F8 that I've been reluctant to sell that would go great with this camera, a lens board would have to be made.

Pity there is an ocean in the way! Looks a cracking good deal for someone!

Too bad I'm not a profiteer like many on these forums or I would have simply written. "I'll take it", then re-sold it on the 'bay.

Who ever gets away with this steal, might be able to find the same diameter plain rod stock and add it to the back for more extension.

If this is still available, I will take it. I have been looking for one of these for some time....
