WTB Universal Lens Mount (iris)
Hi all, does anyone by chance have a Universal Lens Mount for sale like the ones in the following links:
http://www.earlyphotography.co.uk/site/entry_L95.html
http://fourtoes.co.uk/iblog/?p=1554
Need a big one that opens about 3" that can take heavy lenses.
Thank you
Yassen

Re: WTB Universal Lens Mount (iris)
Hi Yassen
They're pretty hard to find and particularly so in the UK, possibly because they were usually made in Europe
The last one that was sold on ebay realised around £210 and on top of that the buyer will have had to account for the shipping costs and import duties etc, so they're not cheap
The best online forum for you to check, is 'The Large Format Photography Forum', where they seem to crop up for sale (far) more regularly, say once a month on average but they tend to be sold very quickly and many of the US based sellers on there, usually prefer to sell to US addresses only
I have four but I'm afraid that they're all keepers
regards
andrew

Re: WTB Universal Lens Mount (iris)
.............and as it happens and which confirms what I've recently said, above...................
two were listed on that said site earlier today, both went inside three hours, their scarcity dictates speedy sales
BUT there's one that seems to be currently unsold, US$300 + shipping from over there

Re: WTB Universal Lens Mount (iris)
Hi Tony
that Camera has been on the big auction site for a few weeks....................
the seller is I'm sure (and I have no connection etc etc) being pretty canny here, the correct price is probably no more than £250, at best
if Yassen hasn't found one yet, then one will eventually come up in Europe, with a Camera but the Camera can then be sold on. Yassen, the best place to look is on 'ebay germany' and type in 'plattenkameras' into the search engine
