I finally got a great deal on Ebay for once! I had to tell someone whos into cameras my wife just does not get it. Heres what was included, one Super Speed Graphic with Special 135mm Rodenstock lens top speed of 1/1000 of a second in almost mint condition, this thing looks spotless, lens is clear , shutter works perfectly, range finder is dead on. Also included 90mm Raptar Wide Angle lens in Rapax Shutter, lens clear shutter fires at all speeds.
Here is the part I love the best 9 almost perfect Grafmatic backs! I love these film backs when shooting 4x5! All of this came in a large original Graflex case with cords, Graflite flash, Stroboflash head and several other little things. I got all of this stuff for about $560 Was this a deal or what?:smile:

That was a deal - the Grafmatic backs would have cost you more than that if you had tp purchase them individually. Great find.

Nice find!
 
If you've time, and search for weeks, Ebay is a very good place.
When I needed a spotmeter, none on Ebay was under 250 USD. It was my upper limit. So, as I didn't have that money, I had to wait. But I still checked every 2 to 3 days. Then, more spotmeters came out from the hide, some overpriced, some really cheap. I choose 3 of them, and waited until the last minit to get my spotmeter under the 150 USD mark....And it is really fine and pristine ! Some accessories are still into the original plastic wrapping.
 
I saw that outfit on ebay.. I valued it at least $750.. but I didnt have enough to win the bid.. I'm glad a user ended up with it rather than a reseller.
GRATZ!
