SOLD: Super Graphic 5x4 folding camera £125 (fixer upper!)
Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 5:18 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00
I bought this Super Graphic to fix up but don't have the time at present to do anything with it. It would make an ideal camera to keep in the car boot or chuck into a rucksack where a more expensive camera might not be suitable.
It's a solid metal bodied folding press type camera with front rise and the all important front tilt (which many MPP's don't have).
Complete with one lenspanel (Copal 0).
There are a few issues that need addressing:
1. There is only one spring arm on the spring back. This will need fixing or working around (elastic band?) to ensure that a film holder is kept firmly pressed against the camera.
2. The rangefinder does not appear to be working (no big deal, just use the ground glass).
3. The ground glass is whole but chipped on a couple of corners (no real problem).
It's offered as an inexpensive "fixer upper" camera but it appears to be 90% as it should be. Just don't expect it to be as new!
Asking £125 + £10 postage in the UK via Paypal personal payment (aka "gift").
