Oh no - yet another antique!

[Ole]

I put in a bid not expecting to win.

Once more I was really after the "accessories" - the nice casket lens set.

Yet again what I was after came with a camera.

I'll have to sell off something soon just to make room!

Well think of me if you want to sell the camera minus the "accessories" Tis quite the beauty!

Looks like a Busch Vademecum Set #1 to me. I just got one of those myself a few months ago. I love it. If you don't have the 'instructions', I got them from a fellow APUG member and can send a pdf or give you his contact info.

Cheers,
Richard

It seems you got it!
Congrats!
I was SO scared that you had made you bid on the one I want more than anything...

It's MINE - MINE.... (maybe)..

I've seen that one on MWClassics' web site, and succeeded in not buying it. I'll continue with that. I won't bid against you, but I may come visiting you just to see it!

You can't trust the auction snipers... they never show up when you need them!!

At this point I think I should explain that I already have a camera just like this one. I bought that just to get the universal Iris lensmount that was on it, and discovered it was a beautiful well-maintained camera that must have been in regular use until very recently. It came with four plate holders, and when I opened them up I found film sheaths in all of them! So I decided not to "butcher" the camera, and bought another iris lens mount.

Since the first one has a very large hole in the lens board (10cm, for the lens mount), it's difficult to fit a "normal" lens without the iris - or without making a new lens board.

But I have absolutely no need for two 13x18cm folding "Reisekameras"!

What! You're not going to get a pair of matched lenses for them and shoot stereo? I ashamed of you, ashamed.

Cheers,

If you don't need two, you can always send me one..
You know my adress already, since you sent me the camera for the "let's all shoot one camera" project...
However, 13x18 cm is indeed rather small...
