Title kind of says it all. I'm blowing out 3 medium and 1 large format folding cameras, bought when I had money and used eBay to take out my aggressions on my life by stocking up on never-to-be-finished projects. All are UNTESTED WITH FILM, and should be approached in the same spirit as one might a garage sale find. I will list any problems that I know of. Hopefully the price is right, if not, tell me I'm delusional and make me an offer. These prices INCLUDE SHIPPING, but WITHIN THE US ONLY. Low res photos available for all.
1) Zeiss Ikon Nettar. 6x9 on 120 film. Scale focussing Nettar Anastigmat lens, f3.5 10.5cm, uncoated, glass looks all right, maybe some cleaning marks. The good: bellows looks excellent, very compact and light for 6x9; Compur Rapid shutter speeds except 1/2 and 1sec sound right, snaps erect no problem. The bad: case latch is ginky (but workable); the case has a rough appearance, with a few splotches and Zeiss bumps. Yours for 60 damn dollars obo, shipped.
2) Chinese "Seagull" dual format (6x6, 6x4.5) on 120 film. 75mm f3.5 coated lens, Chinese character name, a few spots on glass I haven't tried to clean. Lever film advance (also has red windows for both formats). Shutter sounds OK on all (1 - 1/300 sec) speeds, bellows look fine. The Bad: Coupled rangefinder doesn't work. Could be way cool. Take a chance for 50 damn dollars, obo, shipped.
3) Ansco Speedex Special 6x6 on 120 film. The Good: In very nice cosmetic shape, with a great looking Agfa Apotar f4.5 80mm lens, coated, in ProntorSV shutter that sounds right on all speeds. The Bad: the uncoupled rangefinder is frozen, the bellows is an old Agfa bellows so it probably leaks. 50 damn dollars shipped, obo, includes brown leather Never-ready case.
4) Polaroid 110 Pathfinder Land Camera, in original box with manual . Early version, with Wollensak Raptar 127mm f4.5 coated lens in Rapax Synchromatic Shutter. Glass looks great, all the speeds seem on, even 1 sec. Kalart coupled rangefinder. Camera looks like it spent lotsa time in that original box. Make it into a 4x5 regular film camera or something-- that's probably what I was thinking. Didn't happen. Scavenge the lens and shutter. Put a tomato plant in it. Use it as intended. I don't care. 150 damn dollars, shipped (this thing is heavy), obo.
