Miscellaneous Photographic Gear For Sale

Voightlander Bessa-R rangefinder camera body (with built-in meter), 12mm f5.6
   SUPER-WIDE lens (with shade and finder), boxes and papers. Body has some
   VERY light mars, but the lens, shade, and finder are perfect. This lens is surprisingly
   sharp to the corners even wide open, and it is VERY compact and light! The finder
   is surprisingly accurate for showing lens coverage, although it does have strong
   barrel distortion. (The 35mm lens shown on the body has been sold.)
   $795 for all...

Photo taken with the 12mm (to show extreme perspective effects possible):

Mamiya 645 6x4.5 SLR system with 645J body in very nice condition, standard prism,
   45-degree split-image rangefinder screen, 120 film insert, trigger handle, extra film insert
   with case, latest 45mm f2.8 MF lens in VERY nice condition, 70mm f2.8 lens in VERY
   nice condition (the leaf shutter doesn't work, so it operates normally with the body
   focal-plane shutter), Mamiya lens shades for both lenses, and correct body and lens
   caps - all for $655 (and these lenses are SHARP, even wide open!).

52mm Nikkor filters, VERY nice condition, one with the rare chrome rim, $15 each.
Two Nikon PK-13 tubes, $45 each. PK-12, $45. Rare PK-11A tube, $60. All are in
VERY nice condition (but no caps are provided). (The Nikon PN-11 tube has been sold.)

Nikon MD-4 motor for F3, rough-looking, but functional, with AH-3 permanently
   attached to the bottom, $55; Nikon MD-15 for FA, nice condition, $55 (pictured),
   Nikon MD-15 for FA, VERY nice condition (powers the body), not pictured - a tad
   short of mint, $90 (a mint FA body is available here...).

Tamron SP 28-135mm f4-4.5 MF lens (nearly constant-aperture!), in VERY nice
   condition, with needed shade. Sharp, wide-range lens! Fits any MF camera
   body (and some AF bodies, but doesn't AF) with the addition of the appropriate
   Adaptall-2 mount (not supplied), $155 (add $25 for Nikon-mount adapter).

(The NOBA-WIDE photos are below the description.)

4x5 NOBA (Frank Lotz Miller) Wide-Angle View Camera in nice condition.
   This possibly rare camera uses sliding plates for rise/fall/shift, with the bellows
   being used only for focus/tilts/swings to avoid stressing the bellows (a problem
   with many other wide angle view cameras). To operate the camera, a knob is
   loosened on the front standard and the center part (with the lens on it) is pushed
   up or down, then locked for the rise and fall. A similar knob on the rear standard
   is loosened and the center part (with the bellows and brass rods on it) is pushed
   left or right for the shift. For focusing, tilting, and swinging, the knobs on each
   side of the lens board (on the brass rails) are loosened and adjustments made
   while looking at the ground glass (which includes a Fresnel lens for brightening).
   While it may seem that loosening the front knobs would leave you with a "floppy
   mess", in practice very subtle adjustments can be made since the knob(s) can
   be left semi tight while setting up the camera movements, and the knobs are
   large, with large depressions in their centers into which fingers fit nicely for fine
   control. The camera comes with a Noba to Linhof Technika lens board adapter
   so that Linhof/Wista/Tachihara/Ikeda/Nakamichi lensboards can be used - and
   it comes with a Linhof recessed board with angled cable fitting for the shutter
   release (this alone is worth quite a bit for use with extreme wide angles (the
   camera can operate with lenses from about 47mm to 135mm). Only standard
   4x5 double sheet film holders should be used with this camera. 13 of these are
   available, below. The camera comes with a nice, large darkcloth (white on one
   side, black on the other), all for $255...

13 4x5 Lisco Regal 2-Sheet Holders (the nice ones), clean and in
VERY nice condition. B&H charges $45-$65 new each for various brands.
These are $20 each if buying the whole batch.

8 4x5 6-Sheet Graphmatics Holders, all good (not mint looking) and functional,
   with flat platens that properly catch the film when it is dropped into the upright
   platens. These are hard to find in this condition and are probably worth more
   on eBay than I'm asking ($90 each, if all go at once).

One Yankee 4x5 12-Sheet Tank and Basket.

Many 35mm Reels and a Few 8-Reel Nikor Tanks. These are all straight
(all the reels load easily) and clean.

A 20x24 Zone VI Easel with 4-way adjustable blades that can open to 16x20,
perfect condition, with flat straight blades at correct right angles. I will include
three clean sturdy 16x20 trays and one 20x24 tray with it for $95.

A Saunders 14x17 Easel with 11x14 4-way adjustable blades. Perfect, with
flat straight blades at correct right angles. I will include some 11x14 trays with
it for $50.

(Most lenses, boards, and carriers are not pictured.)

Enlarging Lenses (most are on Beseler 4x4 boards). The Componon S and Comparon are
equal in optical quality (and very sharp!), but they are optimized for different enlargement ratios
(6:1 instead of 4:1) - but are fine over very wide ranges beyond the optimum ratios.

^^ Schneider Comparon 150mm f5.6, very nice barrel, very slight internal haze (see note below!).

^^ Vivitar VHE (Schneider Componon S buried in an outer shell) 135mm f5.6, very nice barrel and glass.

-- Schneider Comparon 105mm f4.5, very nice barrel and glass.

-- Schneider Comparon 105mm f4.5 in Prontor Press shutter (needs cleaning - sticky below 1/15th), very
     nice barrel, slight internal haze (see note below!), rounded diaphragm.

-- Vivitar VHE (Schneider Componon S buried in an outer shell) 100mm f5.6, very nice barrel, slight
     internal haze (see note below!).

-- Kodak Anastigmat 100mm f4.5, good barrel, nice glass (these are surprisingly sharp).

-- Schneider Comparon 75mm f4.5, very nice black barrel, slight internal haze (see note below!), round
    diaphragm.

-- Schneider Componon S 80mm f5.6, nice black barrel, slight glass surface scratches (see note below!).

-- Schneider Componon 50mm f4, very nice black barrel, very slight glass surface scratches (see note
    below!).

NOTE! All are in excellent user condition or better (others would describe most of these as "mint" or
"mint -", but I'm conservative in my descriptions - and the glass was inspected in sunlight, with the sun
going through the lenses (the most critical test for glass surface faults). Nothing was found other than
slight internal haze on some, which is common to Schneider lenses and it does not affect performance
(hard to believe, I know, but it is true), or very slight surface scratches on a couple which also do not
generally affect performance. Mold and oil on lens surfaces and element separations do affect performance,
but none of these lenses shows these faults. All of these lenses produce very high quality enlargements.

I'm open to reasonable offers on one, several, or all...

Beseler 4x4 Lens Boards, many, various size openings, some recessed, some extension
(figure a little less than 1/2 B&H new price, but including shipping).

Beseler Carriers for the 4x5 enlarger - 4x5, 645, 6x9, all nice (figure a little less than 1/2 B&H new
price, but including shipping).
