I watched this one go, but I had no need for another monorail. Was it a
steal? Assuming it's in good working condition, it probably was something of a steal though how big a steal is hard to say without knowing the model number and seeing more and better pictures of it than the seller provides. The least expensive Horseman monorail used to be the LE which sold for about $1,500 new. The LS and the LX sell for about $2,800 and $3,900 respectively. I'm not a Horseman expert but my guess is that the one you looked at is the LE or perhaps an earlier version of the LE. The LE sold new for about $1,500 and this camera went for $286 which isn't felony grand theft but is at least a first degree misdemeanor, subject to the foregoing assumptions.

It was a steal as long as everything is working well. I use a Horseman in my
studio day-in and day-out. One fo the most solid and best buys around in monorails and a very extensive system. As for this one though the main rail appears worn and that is no problem as long as it has all its gear teeth but again cant tell fromt eh pictures. The other rail is nice to have but only useful for lenses that require very little in the way of bellows extension. Yes it almsot certainly is the entry level beast but still a good camera as long as everything is working well. Usually these sell for around $500 in this condition.

You can't sell a metal monorail studio 4x5 camera for anything over $49.95 any
more. Everyone's gone digital. Bob G |
