A bit unusual... I have a full set-up for whole plate work for sale. Includes:
Gandolfi traditional whole plate in mahogany with new GG, international whole plate back and 5x4 reducing back. Comes with a Linhof type lens panel frnt standard. Camera is in great condition, bellows light tight and all original parts. Comes with elasticated dark cloth.
I have 9 holders for sheet film which fit the international back. These are rare as hens teeth as they are normally glass plate holders with inserts. 5 are new unused Chamonix holders in cherry with carbon fibre slides. Others are an assortment of old holders all of which are in good working condition, one has a damage on one side but is usable.
A Whole plate contact printing frame is also available. This is antique but in nice condition and working.
I have film and a box of the new Lodima (Michael and Paula Smith) paper and amidol developer.
Obviously if you are seriously interested then I will provide pictures or arrange to meet/view.
Camera with both backs, 4 holders and dark cloth looking for offers around 800ukp.
Chamonix holders are 350ukp for the 5.
Rest of the stuff I will include for free if camera and holders are bought together otherwise 100ukp.

Many thanks

Dave

I forgot to add that there is also a 5x7 back and 6 Fidelity holders included in the price of the camera. The back is not an original Gandolfi back but from a 10x8 Kodak camera which has been reduced and fitted to the camera. You wouldnt know but for the wood being different. Works well.
I have added some pictures to my website in the Miscellaneous gallery.

Hi David-

What size is the Lodima, and how many?
Would you consider selling that, and the Amidol?
If so, how much?

Many thanks-

joseph
