FS - Gandolfi Variant 10x8 - SOLD

Post by Julian Boulter » Tue Jan 13, 2015 1:57 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Selling my wonderful Gandolfi Variant 10x8 camera, as you can see from the pictures it's quite simply a beautiful camera
in immaculate condition/working order, very sad to have to depart with it but I dont have any time to devote to photography right now.

It's simply the nicest large format camera I have ever owned/used in any format, it has a full range of movements (apart
from rear rise) and is a joy to use. I think my record from bag to tripod, composing, focussing, inserting film, making the image and back in the bag again
was under 7 minutes!

Its a doddle to transport as it folds completley flat and is very compact once folded. I'm selling it together with the Rodenstock APO Sironar 240-N in Copal 3
which is also in immaculate condition/working order (and is a perfect match for the camera), and The lowepro case.

One of the extra silver locking knobs on the front standard is a little loose so I sometimes remove it (they are redundant on this camera anyway because the normal black knobs hold any lens rock solid - I used to use this camera with a Schneider 150 XL which is a massive and heavy lens!).

I have been using the camera primarily to explore the wonderful world of 10x8 instant prints. If you see my other post I am also selling the very rare
Polaroid processor required to process the prints together with the Impossible Project Silver Shade 10x8 negatives/positives.

Finally I have the rest of my 10x8 equipment to sell which includes film holders, a film changing tent, my Sekonic meter, and a Paramo dark cloth, again all
in mint condition, I also have boxes of 10x8 film to sell, and a bunch of lee filters hoods/holders/filters. I will post all this extra 10x8 equipment in a separate post.

Wanting £1500 for the camera/lens and £550 for the processor and film, anyone purchasing both will therefore have everything required to shoot 10x8 instant prints for
just over 2 grand!
