I've consolidated what I want in LF gear, and this has to go. This is a fully working Speed Graphic with an Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens. Bellows intact and fairly supple. Focal plane curtain working fine with most speeds sounding good to my ear. I've shot a few sheets with this camera and exposures were all good (though I didn't use the fastest speeds). Same with the leaf shutter up front.

Kalart rangefinder appears to be pretty close in calibration to the 127, though I use GG focusing so no guarantees there. It could probably use a good cleaning, as the patch is a little dim for my eyes. They are pretty easy to calibrate with instructions online if you so desire.

Spring back in good shape with 7 holders included. I haven't checked all the holders personally, but they came with another camera from a reputable seller, so I assume they're okay. Body's got some scuffs and the strap is pretty dry and cracked. A good user for a good price. $300 paypall'ed and shipped to CONUS.

hi,

how is the FP shutter? is it free and clear or does it stick and jam?
thanks!
john
 
FP shutter has worked great for me. No sticks, jams, or jellies. :smile:

The FP is what I used mostly, as I've been experimenting with barrel and projection lenses lately. Exposures were all good, though I never needed to use the top speeds. They sound fine to my ear, but they're untested. For comparison, the other Speed that I'm keeping is about a stop short at the high speeds, which is fine for my needs.
 
thanks !

sorry i read your original post but misread the speeds - info as the 127's speeds
didn't mean to make you type it all over again.

John, should we give this post another bump for the road?
