FS: Gandolfi Variant L1 4X5 Camera

Hi,

I'm selling my Gandolfi Variant (black) 4X5 Camera.

For information about the camera please see: http://www.johndesq.com/jdp/gandolfi.htm and http://www.bromwellmarketing.com/gandolfi.htm as well as the rather awful Gandolfi site http://www.gandolficameras.com/

Basics, lenses from 55-315mm, base and axis front tilt and all the usual front movements, back tilt and swing. Graflex back.

Sorry for the awful photos!






Also included but not shown are two lens boards (technika compatible), A Copal 0 and a Copal 1, and a homemade and not that pretty but perfectly functional bag bellows.

There are a few areas of missing paint on the body as shown in these links, the GG is a bit loose, rattles a bit.

I'm offering the camera for £550/$1100 inclusive of shipping (EMS Insured) to Europe and the US, please email me (pomsbz @ yahoo . com - remove spaces) for a quote for postage to other countries. Paypal accepted and I'll swallow the fees. Bank transfer to my UK account welcome. If you are in the UK and want to avoid paying duties then I'll be back in the UK on the 15th of June and can post it then by Special Delivery and save you customs fees. If you are interested in that let me know by the above email address and we can sort out payment then.

For an extra £10 I'll include the appropriate RRS camera plate which also fits the Tachi and Shen Hao cameras and no doubt others too. It's £30 otherwise.

BTW if anyone is interested in a twice used Camera Fusion (www.camerafusion.com) adaptor, same price as above ($1850 new) and mine is the only one in the planet that can do vertical as well as horizontal! Be in touch if you're interested.
