HI all,
For Sale or Trade, my 4x5 wide angle hand camera based on a Sinar Handy.
This is a Sinar standard with a Sinar international (Graflok) back on one side, and a lens cone fit with a focus helical, custom calibrated for a Schneider 90mm f6.8 Angulon lens (about the same field of view on 4x5 as a 28mm lens on 35mm) on the front. I have attached a left hand grip with shutter release, a 28mm optical viewfinder, and Arca-Swiss type tripod foot. Focus is either by scale or ground glass. The ground glass is in excellent condition - clean and bright. The camera comes with all this, plus 3 double 4x5 film holders. The Linhoff shutter runs at all speeds, but 1 sec. may be a tad slow. The glass on the lens is clean and clear, with a small amount of dust and Schneideritis, but nothing that will affect image quality. The whole package weighs in at just under 2 kg - considerably less than my Pentax 6x7 with normal lens and about the same as my Canon 1DX body. This is a great 4x5 camera for hiking and quick shooting. The universal back makes using roll film holders easy (ie. 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 6x12, etc.) - I have used a Horseman 6x12 on this rig with great success! Lens cones can easily be 3d printed for different lenses, and many sizes of inexpensive focus helicals are readily found new on auction sites.
I am pricing this kit at $650 USD with free shipping in the CONUS. Actual shipping elsewhere. I am also interested in negotiating a trade for a late model Hasselblad 500 C/M body with A12 back, w/l finder and acute matte screen. I also am selling trading my Mercury Universal MF camera in a separate sale, as well. Please direct message me if interested. Payment by PayPal is fine.
Thank you for looking!
