Posted on the large format photography forum but posting here also for greater exposure - no pun intended :)

It's time for a change in format for me, so time to let go of my 4x5" set up. All items are located in Melbourne, Oz but will ship back home at cost. I have bought items on the other forum before and have 100% feedback on ebay - PM me for my username. Payment via Paypal, split the fees, or UK bank transfer even better.


Ebony 45S
Mint condition, bought new from Ebony in Japan and used only lightly over the last 10 months. Great wide angle non-folding camera, bellows perfect, so supple and flexible, even with the 75mm. Ebony wide angle Fresnel with gridded ground glass. Original box and I'll even try and find the little hand mirror that came with it...

Will be sorry to see it go, but I simply dont get the time to use it so it needs to go to a better home.

Check http://www.ebonycamera.com/cam/main.45S.html for the full specs.

Current new list price at Badger Graphics is US$2795
Robert White is listing a used one for £1700+vat (?!)
This one really is in mint condition, so shall we say £1450, open to offers.


I'd like to sell the camera first before selling the rest of the kit:


Rodenstock Grandagon-N 75mm f/4.5 lens in Copal 0
Green stripe version. Covers 4x5 with movements. As new condition, with immaculate glass. Copal 0 accurate, blades snappy and grease free. All caps and original box.

Current list at Badger Graphics is US$1659.95
This was someone's cancelled order in Oz so I snapped it up new.
Lets try £750, open to offers


And the rest:

Ebony bellows focusing hood
Good condition, boxed.
£50

Grafmatic film holder
Worn but perfect working order, all septa not bent.
£50

Fidelity Elite 4x5 film holders x 4
Good condition, no light leaks.
all 4 for £30

Fuji Quickload Holder
Good condition, perfect working order. No pouch.
£30

Fuji PA45 instant pack film holder
Very good condition, perfect working order. Will send with the film loaded, 9x FP100c exposures left currently...
£80

Once again, open to offers on all the above. Deals to be had if you'd like the camera + anything else...

Let me know if you need any further information. Quick photo of the whole lot below

Thanks for looking

Price drop to £1280 (US$2k) for the Ebony 45S to include my photobackpacker case (PhotoBackPacker C00894 which fits the camera perfectly), the 4 film holders if you want them, and half price shipping. Robert White has a used 45S for £1700+vat = £2000 so this represents a saving of over £700 for this mint condition Ebony which has only ever been lightly used.

PM me for any further info, I'm open to sensible offers.

Thanks for looking

Another bump.

Open to offers on the lens - it really is a beauty and if I was staying with 4x5" I'd certainly keep it.

And the QL Holder is still available, I've found some loose sheets of RVP50 and Pro160S so I'll throw them in to the purchaser...


Cheers
