FS: Gandolfi whole plate camera- sold

[Dave Tolcher]

A bit unusual... I have a full set-up for whole plate work for sale. Includes:
Gandolfi traditional whole plate in mahogany with new gridded GG (from sheetfilm.be), international whole plate back and 5x4 reducing back. Comes with a Linhof type lens panel front standard. Camera is in great condition, bellows light tight and all original parts. Comes with elasticated dark cloth.

I have 4 holders for 6.5x8.5in sheet film which fit the international back. An assortment of old holders all of which are in good working condition, one has a damage on one side but is usable.

Also included in the sale is an adapted Kodak 5x7 back which fits perfectly.

The camera does have the usual very small splits on the base but in no way affecting the structural integrity of the camera. I use a long arca style plate in both tripod sockets and an arca ball head which provides rock solid support and an ability to centre the camera on the tripod. Can be included if this suits your needs.

Prefer to arrange collection but can post. Looking for £595.00 plus p&p
