This board came attached to a lens I purchased. I have no use for it - do you? Based on this thread on the Large Format Photography Forum

Plaubel Peco Profia, lens board size?

I recently purchased a (5x7 & 4x5) Plaubel Peco Profia (ebay item 220786864940) and would like to know what size lensboards it takes? Also, Is there a Linhof to Plaubel adapter available and if so where? or am I going to need to adapt a Linhof to Sinar lensboard to sort this (plenty of...

I believe it's the late style as there's no evidence of any kind of felt strip light seal (see post #7 in the above thread). It has a few marks and signs of use, but it's flat, black, solid, and will probably outlive you.

$35 shipped in the US. PayPal on me.

How about $20 shipped in the US? It seems a shame to toss this into the recycle bin, but at some point that's where it'll end up since I'll never use it.

No takers at $20 shipped? That'll barely buy me a coffee after I pay the shipping and PayPal costs.

$20 would have been a great bargain when I was buying boards for my Profia - $60 a pop, just 2-3 years ago. No sale at your price is a very bad sign for my hopes to sell my Profia in the near future.

Thanks for your message, Steve. I am not looking for a lens board but I will suggest this thread to someone who may or may not be interested.

This camera seems more popular in Europe than the USA.

Good morning Steve.
Gianluca from Italy here.

I have a Plaubel Peco Profia 8x10: not the Sinar P2 8x10 that I used to dreamed about; but as I started using this camera I have fully felt in love.

If shipping to Italy is not too expensive, another plate would be welcomed here (even if that... would call for a new lens).

Steve I just read your thread again because I was rushing last night.

It takes up so little space. It would be better to give it to someone that will use it. Do you know what copal size the opening is?

Unfortunately, it would probably cost more than it would be worth.

Steve, I am on the East Coast of the USA. Chat with Gianluca. I will take your $20 offer if you two feel it comes out to more than it's worth.

@Gianluca , I agree with you. I enjoy the Peco Profia enough that I have eBay searches up for a 5x7 rear standard and bellows.

I am undecided about whether or not this could be my "forever" 4x5 camera because I like to get out doors. I struggled while taking the 4x5 into the forest last weekend. For now, it is nice to learn about movements with it.

Hey Certain Exposures, I’m unable to start a conversation with you. Please start one with me.

This board is packed and ready to ship. $19 will get it heading your way. Sorry to say, but international shipping will at least double the cost even before considering VAT.

Good night Steve.
I am Gianluca Carinci (from Ortona 66026 - Italy): I have just received this message from you and, as the discussione Is about five months old, I wonder if this message of yours was directed to me or if I received It for error.

Clarifying message sent to Gianluca.

I still have this board, packed and ready to go to your US address for $19. PayPal G+S fine, I'll still cover shipping. I probably won't make more than a few bucks on this, but I'd prefer to keep it out of the landfill.
