Looking for 8x10

[loman]

Hello Everybody. I'm looking for a used 8x10 flat bed camera + lens. I have
900 dollars to spend or 452 pounds aproximately.
Does any of you know any good second hand internet camera shops in Europe, that might have what I'm looking for?
Of course there's always ebay, but I'm just keeping my options open.
I've posted a note in the classifieds in the wanted list, just in case any of you guys have something you would like to sell!
Best Regards
Mads Hartmann

Hi Mads, I've bought 2 Agfa-Ansco 10x8's via ebay from the US, for a bit less than you want to pay both came with a 12" (300mm) lens.

10x8 cameras are far cheaper in the US and exchange rates are in our favour, even after paying import duty and VAT it's like stealing toffees from the US natives

Europe doesn't really have a LF culture outside commercial photography and flat-bed cameras are quite rare, with few manufactures, other than Gandolfi.

So good luck

Ian

PS I've never yet found a good european site for second hand equipment, so if you find one let us know

well You're right. And I'm not saying I'm ruling out the US. If the right offer shows up I'm on it!
By the way I forgot to say that as for lenses, I'm more interested in older uncoated ones. Like the turner reich convertibles, wollensak, B&L, goerz dagor etc. As long as the shutters are working!
