Folks -
I'm selling my 8x10 Korona View wood field camera. Love it, even have some exposures in my gallery here made with it. But I just can't afford to have a camera around I don't use as much. Also, I'm becoming more enamoured of square format and would like to spend some money on my Hasselblad kit.
This camera is in fine shape, a user but functions/works well. It comes with everything you'll need to start making sweet, sweet 8x10 negatives.
wood field camera body. Bellows are in good shape and light-tight. All knobs etc are present and work.
*Fujinon 300mm 5.6 lens. Sharp, fast lens - shutter works at all speeds and glass & blades are clear. This fast aperture makes focusing and composing much easier.
5 Lisco-type plastic film holders. I also have some wooden ones that are a bit rough but I'll include them too...3, if memory serves. Haven't tested or used them so I recommend testing them before using them.
Focusing cloth. Spiffy looking red with black reverse cloth on the other side. Velcro holders keep it in place. You can see it in one of the included photos.
Two opened boxes of film. One Arista and the other Ilford FP4+. Both have been refridgerated their entire time with me, both are opened and missing sheets...you'll get at least 10 sheets, though.
Manfrotto tripod. I'm not sure about shipping this. It's gigantic and very heavy. I can look into shipping costs but in practical terms it may not be worth the expense. It is solid as granite and has a wide head for fitting the base of the camera on, though. Up to you, I'd say.
*I have a new batch of archival photo sleeves to store negatives in, I can toss this in.
I'm asking US$ 1200 for this kit, plus shipping. Any questions, feel free to ask!
