The Sawyers Mark IV is a Japanese copy of the Baby Rolleiflex.
The camera is fully operational and all shutter speeds seem to be in the neighborhood of accurate. There are a few small pieces of leatherette missing from the face of the camera.
Both the taking and viewing lenses are f2.8 and are clean, scratch-free and fungus free. The chimney viewfinder is bright and incudes a built-in magnifier. There is also an option of using the sports viewfinder when pre-focused.
It shoots 127 film, of which over 250ft will be included. The film is Kodak Portra 46mm and is long expired. I will include at least two 127 spools so that you can "roll your own." I cut down backing paper from rolls of 120 to roll film for use in this camera.
Included in the kit is the camera, original leather case, flash cold shoe bracket, metal lens caps, portra film and as many 127 spools as I can dig up.
Price is $225, plus shipping cost from Kansas, U.S.A.
