FS Graflex Crown Graphic 5 x 4 Camera

Post by Rob G » Mon Aug 30, 2010 12:43 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I have reluctantly decided to sell my beautiful Crown Graphic Camera. This camera is in the region of 60 years old and is in superb condition. The camera comes with a Schneider Kreuznach f4.7 xenar 135mm lens which is in a Synchro Compur P shutter, the lens is in excellent condition with no scratches dust or fungus; the shutter is working at all speeds. The side mounted Kalart rangefinder is calibrated to the lens. This camera is a really beautiful piece of photographic history which would enhance any collection, but still takes wonderful photographs, and indeed has done so until recently, I doubt there is a better example of this model to be found . I am asking £295 including insured postage to the UK. I will take some photographs of the camera, if anyone is interested please PM your Email address and I will Email the images to you. Alternatively any potential buyer is very welcome to come along have a cup of tea and view the camera, I live in Stourbridge in the West Midlands.
Thank you for reading this listing.
Regards,
Rob.

What's the lens, Schneider have never made an f4 135mm LF lens, however there's f4.5 & f4.7 Xenar's.

Hi Ian.
You are correct, my mistake the lens is a f4.7 xenar. Thanks for pointing out my error.
Regards,
Rob.
