Must Sell: Ansco 8x10 + 250 wide field Ektar Kit!
Hello, my name is Mark Baylin and I have the following
large format equipment for sale. An Afga Ansco 8x10 view camera. The camera is in good working order. The bellows has been taped well and is totally light tight. I have also put in an inner blind inside the camera at the front to further block any light coming in from the lens board (I have had a few of these cameras in 8x10 and 5x7 and they always seem to need this inner blind. It seems that no matter how well fitting the lens board is, light always seems to seep in through. I have used this camera and an identical 5x7 model and have had no problem whatsoever with light leaks now that I have installed the inner blind. I still use the camera with a dark cloth over the bellows just in case). The camera has a front tilt (the front standard doesn't tilt on it's own. The lens tilts inside on it's own axis while the standard stays fixed). There is a rear tilt and swing and a front rise (geared) and shift. The bellows can extend out to about 25 inches. One of the bars that hangs over the back of the camera to hold the ground glass back in place is broken off, however, theres still more than enough of it to hold the back in place solidly. As these camera didn't have levels installed, I had a plum bob pointer made out of brass and is now installed on the right side of the rear standard. When the back is tilted so that the pointer points downward in the middle of the plum bob, you're level. There's also a manfrotto hex quick release plate mounted on the bottom of the camera. The camera comes with a Kodak Wide Field Ektar 250mm F/6.3 in a universal shutter mounted on an adapted metal Toyo lens board. The glass is in excellent condition (I understand that this lens can easily cover the 11x14 format if need be). The shutter of this lens seems fine in all but the most slow speeds (half a second is more like a full second). I also have 3 lisco holders with this kit as well. They have all been used recently and show no signs of light leaks at all. There is also 33 sheets of Kodak Tri-X film that I will thow in with this kit. There is also 1 Kodak hard rubber tank for 8x10 film and 4 Kodak film hangers that are included. I'm asking $1200 US for everything + shipping. I have used this camera regularly and can vouch for it to be in good working order. It's a great first 8x10 camera and beyond and since light leaks aren't a problem, you can photograph right away with it and not have to spend the many more hundreds or even thousands of dollars this kind of equipment usually costs. Thank you for your time! Mark -- p |
