I have for sale a Cambo SC 5 x 4 Monorail Camera complete with Rodenstock 150mm lens in a Copal 0 shutter, spare monorail, compendium lens shade and an Hakuba aluminum fitted case. Everything is in excellent near mint condition. I am asking £250. Due to size and delicate nature of the equipment it would have to be collected from Stourbridge in the West Midlands, or I am prepared to meet up at a halfway point. I will take some photographs of the equipment, if interested please PM me your Email address and I will Email them to you.
Thanks for looking.
Regards,
Rob.

Is Venice half way :D I'll be there in a fortnight 8)

That's a great bargain for someone, the lens alone is worth £150, so the camera is a steal.

Are you still into LF Rob, if so maybe we can meet up next time I'm back in the UK in a couple of months, I'll be 7 miles from Stourbridge.

Hi Ian.
I think Venice is a bit too far, I hope you enjoy yourself there, you should get some great photographs. I don't seem to be into photography of any kind at present, subsequently my wife is complaining about my darkroom not being used; camera's and other photographic equipment all over the house just gathering dust so I thought I would have a sort out. I know the lens would fetch a good price, the compendium lens shades are really expensive, also the flight cases go for around £80 but I would rather sell the kit in one go and I thought it may give someone an inexpensive entry into large format photography. As for my carrying on with LF photography I am keeping my Graflex Crown Gaphic in the hope I will once again get my enthusiasm back , I will also be keeping some of my medium format equipment. I haven't made my mind up as yet whether to break up my darkroom.
Regards,
Rob.

fwiw, someone should make a move for this kit - a major 'steal' at this price, the Rodenstock is probably worth more, say £200 and after stripping out the compendium lens shade (and they're not cheap), one is probably, no certainly going to have a monorail at 'nil cost' - way to go, as they're fond of saying these days
