HI all,
For Sale or Trade is my Mercury Universal medium format camera outfit. This is a completely 3D printed medium format camera which is totally modular in design. A dizzying array of lenses in shutters can be combined with a variety of film backs - from 2x3 cut film to 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, or 6x9 backs from Graflex, Horseman, Mamiya, Instax, etc. and even 70mm backs! Check out the company website here: https://mercurycamera.com/
My kit contains the basic camera with a lens cone and helical focus unit for a Kodak 101mm f/4.5 lens in a Graphic/Kodak flash supermatic shutter. The shutter runs at all speeds and seems fine by "ear". The glass is coated, clean and clear, with no haze, separation or fungus. There is a little bit of dust. There is an add on comfort grip with a cable release. There are two sports finder, the standard model and the deluxe as well as the accessory ground glass. Focus is either by scale or ground glass. I am also including a late model Graflex 6x7 roll film back. This is the good model with the supplemental rollers to assure film flatness. Lastly I am also including a second focus helical for a Schneider 47mm f/5.6 Super Angulon lens, should you wish to expand your kit in that direction (the 47mm lens is not included in this sale). Check out my photos taken with this camera and a 47mm lens on a 6x9 back in the Phototrio Gallery.
I am asking $300$375 for the kit with free shipping in CONUS. Actual cost elsewhere. I am also interested in a direct trade for either of the following:
1) Late model Hasselblad A12 back with matching insert, or
2) Acute Matte screen.
Thanks for looking, and here are a few more pics:
