WTB :8x10 field camera
 

I am looking for an 8x10 field camera. I will consider a Calumet
magnesium C1, or an Agfa Ansco Universal or Commercial View. I do not
want a monorail. I would like to get along with the camera something in
a 300mm lens mounted on a lens board and a couple of film holders. I can
pay by PayPal, Bidpay, International postal money order, or bank draft.
I am not looking for a project or a fixer upper, but have set a budget
limit of $800.00US landed at my door.

cheers

- does that apply to life also?)

john, ihave a commercial view [magnesium] with the extension bed.
the pad that goes under it to position it on the tripod andthe
auxiliary bellows arrangement that replaces the lensboard and has the
front tilt movements. a 5x7 reducing back and the8x10 back. the 8x10
back is warped and will not go on the camera. i've always meant to try
to fix it but never have..don't guaratee that it could be done. the
bellows is fine. with it i have a turner reich convertable 12 to 21 to
28 inches glass is perfect...the shutter is old and unknown but works
perfectly. i have some other info for you but i think i've run out of
room on this message . cheap cheap if you are interested let me know

Thank you Frank,

I appreciate you responding, and I should have posted sooner that I was
no longer in the market.

I purchased this :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7505156948

It is advertised as working, so hopefully it won't take too much to get
it out into the field.

Possibly someone else might wish to contact you about yours?

cheers and thank you again.

Hi Frank - I sent you an e mail message but just in case you're reading
here, I'd be interested in discussing the purchase of your Commercial View
camera. If you wish to pursue this send me an e mail message to
, after deleting the words "spamnot" from the address.
