For sale is my Intrepid MK4 4X5 that I purchased in June 2020. I haven't used it as much as I should, so it would be better to
belong to someone who would use it more. I think the best color for the bellow is this blue one. The camera has the full range of movements, and if you've ever
wanted to try 4X5, this is a great choice to start with. Camera and bellows are in great shape, there are a couple of scuff marks on the bottom where
it attaches to a tripod, but that is to be expected.

The glass on the 210mm 6.8 lens is probably the clearest glass I've ever seen no matter what the format. The shutter speeds sound accurate.

$265 for the camera, lens board included.

$190 for the lens, front and rear caps included.

$435 for the camera and lens combined. Price includes shipping in the US. PM for charges outside the US.

For those looking - I can attest that this lens is tack sharp and a wonderful performer. It's one my most used 4x5 lenses and continues to work well nearly 30 years after I bought it.
 
Just a comment on the lens. The 210mm f6.8 Caltar E is a rebranded Rodenstock Geronar which is a modern Multi-Coated Cooke Triplet, these are light weight and small. They are superb portrait lenses at wider apertures and excellent general purpose lenses stopped down.
