However, family, job, study took nearly all the time, now, after graduation, still have very little tile to invest into a hikes serious enough to boost my LF setup. I decided to sacrifice LF advatanges in favor Leica route which allows me instant shooting experience while still 100% involved in family and around. So, here it goes: 1. A Shen-Hao 4x5 wood field camera - mint condition, comes with bright Satin Snow focusing screen installed and original screen, original bellows and wide angle bellow (very convenient for 90mm andwider lenses). A wonderful, very capable large format camera for hikes, lots of movements. Probably less then 50 sheets shot through it. I'm original owner, purchased about a year and half ago from Badger Graphic. Price: 550$, includes 1 lens board with #0 hole 2. Fujinon-W 150mm/5.6 lens, multicoated (Fuji Laser Beam coating) in Copal #0 shutter, caps. Excellent condition, clean optics and shutter, all speeds are OK, very clean external cosmetics. Excellent normal lens for 4x5 format. Price: 250 US$ 3. Caltar II-N MC 90mm/6.8 lens, multicoated (same as Rodenstock Grandagon-N 90mm/6.8) in Copal #0 shutter, caps. Excellent/mint condition, black shutter (late model). Clean optics and shutter, all speeds are OK, very clean external cosmetics. Wonderful WA lens for 4x5, equivalent to approx 28-30mm coverage in 35mm format. Price: 450 US$ 4. BlackJacket Focusing Cloth - an excellent one, with sleeves, Hybrid model, do not attarcts summer heat as much as all-black clothes. In like new condition Check it out on: http://www.quietworks.com/FRAMES_FILES/WELCOME_BJ_FOCUSINGCLOTH.html Price 50$ (shipped by registered mail) 5. Toyo x3.7 focusing loupe - a great aid for critical focusing in ground glass. Like new condition. Price: 40$ (shipped by registered mail) There are few small bits (such as Cokin adapters/filters set, adapter rings to match the lenses, etc...) I can arrange setups such as: A. The camera (1) + Fujinon 150mm lens (2) = 750$. This set will include the Toyo loupe free. B. The camera (1) + Caltar 90mm lens (2) = 950$. This set will include teh BlackJacket focusing cloth free. C. The camera (1) + both lenses (2) + (3) = 1150$. Includes all the rest (the loupe, cloth, Cokin), + one additional Copal #0 lens board and probably COpal #1 board (not sure, have to search for one in my stuff). All the shipment - from Israel by EMS(except of the cloth and loupe), fully insured. Shipment prices are includes into indicated prices per item (or setups). Another option - I may consider trading all (or partial) + cash into Leica Summicorn 35mm/2 ASPH. Thanks, Alex
