Want to Buy WTB: 4x5" Press Camera w/ RF - B&J Press, Tower Press, Busch Pressman... $125-$225

holmburgers · Jun 28, 2011

Increasing the price range a bit.

Looking for one of the following 4x5" cameras:

Burke & James Press
Busch Pressman D
Tower Press
Meridian 45B
Etc...

Must have:

Rangefinder (Kalart preferred, but open)
Rotating back with ground glass & spring back
Bellows in perfectly functional shape

--

I have some stuff to trade if you're interested, namely:

Burke & James Orbit, 4x5" Monorail - perfect condition
Kodak 2D 8x10 View Camera - very good condition, good bellows
215mm f/6.3 Orbit in Copal 1 - Caltar copy(?), covers 5x7"
8-1/4" f/4.5 Wollensak Velostigmat in Betax 4 - good shape, shutter inaccurate

I'll pay a $25 finders fee to whomever can locate me a dream camera, and resulting in a satisfactory sale. Perhaps this will incentivize someone to ask their friends, family and neighbors.

Mind you, the $225 price would be for a camera with an above average lens (not a 127mm or 135mm Ektar, Raptar, etc.) and the whole shooting match in great condition.

$125 would be for a good condition camera w/o lens, $150-$175 for something with an Ektar and the like.

Thanks, will call shortly.

But, can anyone tell me if the specials always had the top-mounted RF or was there overlap with the ≤1955 Kalart?
