FS: Wet/Dry plate cameras
Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:24 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00
I have almost a dozen of these which I'm dead keen to sell pdq
most are half plate size but there a couple of quarter plate ones plus two whole plate, most come with decent quality brass (unshuttered) lenses and holders and are all very usable/definitely more than usable etc etc
this post is aimed at forum members who are seriously interested in these 'wood and brass' cameras, I'm not going to individually post them on here, so could anyone please send me a pm as there is some urgency involved
the first few will be going on the big auction site this weekend and the rest during August, so as one will have realised I'm looking for serious purchasers - no time wasters therefore, if one does not mind me saying so
and finally, these cameras are 100-120 years old, so please do not anticipate perfection, or as many movements as one would get from say a new Ebony (but there is a distinct cash saving) - it's the image that counts not the expensive gear, imho
thanks for looking
