Want to Buy WTB: Graflex RB series D 3x4 camera

Per Bjesse · Apr 29, 2020

Hi,

I am looking for a graflex RB 3x4 camera, preferrable series D or later. What is important is a shutter in good condition (smooth, not wrinkled) and good bellows, I don't care about the viewing hood or lens condition necessarily, nor cosmetic condition. This is to be a shooter, not a collectors item.

Let me know if you have something lying around.

Regards,

I have one, almost like new. What would you pay?

Hi Arthur,

That is exciting. You would have to tell me what you are looking for, but I am guessing based on the description that it might not be a good fit. I am not looking for a pristine collectors camera, but something not very expensive but with a good shutter and bellows that I can turn into a workhorse and I don't mind the elbow grease to get there.

I have one that I haven't used in a long while and won't be. $125 + shipping, but I don't know the shipping cost yet. It's in good shape, but the lens has cleaning marks and the button to rotate the back works but is loose. Comes with 2 film holders.

Well, if the shutter is in good condition and the bellows are fine then I am definitely interested. Let me know what shipping is looking like.

Hi Simon,

Assuming this message is about an offer to buy the camera, you should totally throw your hat in the ring if this does not work out for me, but until then I'd appreciate if you did not jump into the middle of a transaction between me and a seller that answered my WTB ad. If you are looking for one too, cool, post an ad.

Regards,

I can’t get the shipping estimate until tomorrow, but I need your zip code. I’ll include a photo of the shutter and bellows with that reply.

Cool, sent you a pm.

Since that is a super-d (pictured) it's worth at least $450 based on that photo alone I'd say.
