Withdrawn - Arca Swiss F Line Classic Outfit

[Dave Tolcher]

I have decided to run with the Ebony rather than the Arca although head says that the Arca is a better all round camera. What is included:

Arca Swiss F Classic (171mm) with std bellows, 1 pair of 15cm optical benches and the 30cm rail. Front std has micrometrix orbix offering yaw free geared tilts. This has just been serviced by Arca. With this configuration lenses from 110 to 400T can be used incl a normal 300mm lens focussed to about 10ft. Includes gg protector. All controls are butter smooth and lock firmly. Condition is very good with light signs of use.

Additionally:

1 bag bellows (synthetic)
1 soft leather wide angle pleated bellows (240mm) - will just focus a 300mm lens to about 20ft. These are std with the camera as delivered today.
1 30cm optical bench and short rail
1 20cm rail (brand new)
Copal 0 recess panel
Copal 1 recess panel
Copal 3 recess panel
Chinese Arca / Linhof panel adapter
Arca system suitcase
Photobackpacker arca camera case (new)

Would prefer to arrange to meet or collect for obvious reasons - the suitcase is a studio storage case so is big and heavy - think 20kg on its own ! Postage would be c £25.00 I suspect. UK only.

New this package would set you back in excess of £4000 but as with all s/h LF gear it is a relative bargain s/h at £1495.00 or sensible offers. Open to splitting the camera out if desired.

I'll vouch for Dave being a very trustworthy bloke! And this is an absolute bargain!

If you split, I'd be interested in the arca/technica panel.
