have for sale a Burke and James 4x5 Press camera. These are great cams and feature a lot of movements for a press camera plus they have a rotating back. Overall in great condition, there is a bit of rust on the metal frame surrounding the GG (see pics). Bellows are light tight. There is a RF, Optical VF, and sportsfinders. The RF is not aligned properly but all part are present including some infinity stop mounted on the camera so I'm sure it could be aligned if you wanted to to. Lens is an Ektar 127/4.7 in a Supermatic shutter. Aperture works fine, no oil on blades. Shutter sounds good to me but has not been professionally checked. Lens in clean and clear for the most part. There is a mark on the front element but it shouldn't affect image quality. Also comes with 5 modern plastic holders in excellent shape.

Asking $215 shipped in the US and $250 shipped foreign OBO.

Also willing to talk trades for a Canon EF Macro Lens.

The fine print:

All items are sold AS-IS, no returns. I make every effort to give you an accurate description and am happy to answer questions via PM or email. Mr. Momming little kids 3 nights a week and most weekends don't make phone calls possible so PM or email it must be. I prefer Paypal and would appreciate it being sent as a gift, but that is solely up to the buyer if they want to do that or not. Shipping will be USPS Priority with full insurance. Please feel free to check out my eBay feedback under jmooney776 and RFF as jmooney.
