Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:44 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00
if anyone has been interested in trying this very acceptable format and has been waiting for a cheapish camera to come up, then this may well be worth considering
this is not a beautiful camera but it's a very solid beast and there's no wobble anywhere here, so
brought to you from the well known Chicago camera retailer that was 'Burke & James', we have a
Rembrandt Portrait Camera 1, the features being:-
1)typical red B&J bellows which are in a pretty good condition with a few holes in the corners albeit very small indeed;
2) bellows extension of approx 360mm; (3) no front movements - hence the rigidity; (4) rear rise; (5) shift; and (6) extremely generous swing
it is what it is, namely a very solid camera for portraits and also for landscape work, although it doesn't fold
there's plenty of commentary on the web regarding this line of cameras - I've posted a couple of links below
despite selling a few 5x7's last year and another more recently, I still have more and seem unable to avoid picking them up, so this little (not so light) guy needs a new home
I'm also including a user lens board with a 62mm opening and a brand spanking unused gg courtesy of Andrew Glover ('dagor 77')
if anyone is considering the camera + filmholders, then I'll knock a little more off of the price of the filmholders that I'm also advertising on here provided that the camera is bought too
£129 seems to me to be a real steal, even though the movements are a little limited
paypal preferred please, fees if one doesn't mind to be paid by the buyer - delivery costs on top
hope to hear from someone - pm please
thx indeed for looking
