For Sale: Speed Graphic

Post by ajmiller » Wed Apr 03, 2013 4:05 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I'm selling a 5x4 Speed Graphic which I bought last year and haven't used much.
I'm wanting to buy some other gear so this will have to go.
It was bought from a seller on eBay who does mods to them so it has a front swing. I never used it but you may find it handy.

The camera is in good/ used condition.
The lens is in good condition.

The details are as follows:-
Kalart Side Mounted Range Finder - this works but I'm not sure it is exactly spot-on so I always used the ground glass.
I had it checked out last year and the repairer said the rangefinder was as expected for a camera this age.

Ground glass - some marks and a small defect in lower right hand corner. May have been repaired at some time but no sign of cracking etc and nothing impedes viewing or use. You can see it on the photo via the link below.

Kodak Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens - not tested but fires on all shutter speeds and sounds ok.
No visible marks, fungus or anything untoward.

Rear Curtain Shutter - works as it should but not tested.

The camera body shows signs of use (see photos) and in various places paint has come off.
It has a new handle fitted.
the bellows are light-tight and in good condition.

I'm looking for reasonable offers please around £250 exc. postage
Payment by Bank Transfer or Paypal (gift).
The postage will vary depending where you are and how you want it sent but it would have to be signed-for.
The camera and lens weighs 2.831kg.

Some photos are here in my Dropbox folder

Any questions please ask.
