Want to Buy WTB: LF camera (old beaters OK)

[Denis P.]

Hi,

I'm looking for a LF beginner camera (or a kit), size 4x5 or larger (preferrably 5x7 with a 4x5 reducing back), to be used mainly for wet plate, so an old beater is OK, as long as it's usable (non-leaking bellows, etc.).

I'm in EU (Croatia) and can pay via PayPal.

I also hope to find something with a bit more reasonable shipping cost than the $500 shipping from USA to Croatia I was quoted on LF forum a few days ago...
Unfortunately, I had to pass on that offer

Dennis, will this camera be suitable?

It is a Crown Super Speed Graphic

I'm willing to sell it for $245, because that's the "Buy it Now" that I priced it at on ebay, but we need to talk about shipping.

Vick, I'd prefer an older type wooden camera, with a larger lens board. Yours looks nice, but it's not what I'm looking for...
Thanks anyway,
Denis

Hi Denis,

I've got a Calumet WoodField XM, it's like a Tachihara that I'm trying to sell right now. It takes the standard Technika lens boards. Is this too new?
