This is the legendary PTB617 camera. Weighs just over 2 pounds, it has all the movements you expect from a view camera. Most 4x5 lenses will cover. The best thing comparing to the "hardbody" 617 is that you use the ground glass for focusing, just like other view camera. The film holder has a darkslide so no film is wasted.

This thing is rare. It's out of production and I have only seen a couple being sold ever. I bought this new from Badger Graphic. Everything works as it should, and no major scratches or usage marks

$2299 including USPS Priority Mail shipping.

Hi,
Just wondering why are you selling this?

I'm actually looking to get the non folding version.

Regards,
Joe
 
Hi Joe, first of all, it's SOLD. I needed some money at that time :-/ It's a great camera though so don't hesitate to get it if you find one
 
Hi Richard, I just realised it was an old post after I sent the message.
Thanks for the reply and encouragement.
I’m getting it from a wholesaler in HongKong - Ecbuyonline because we don’t have Shen Hao distributor in Australia.
Do you have any tips on the camera?
 
Hi Darius,

Nick Carver shoots with this camera and has a couple of YouTube episodes. I have one with variable finder and am pleased.
