Hi, are there any Light leaks in the bellows? Any marks on the lens Glass? Do all the Shutter speeds work as expected? Thank you DEnnis

This is a piece of history! I have one also- I met Peter Gowland at his home in California many years ago- quite a bit of nostalgia with his history of fashion photography.
A bit of trivia- there is also a 5x7 version of this camera- I have one.

Do you use the 5X7 or just keep it as part of history? I was thinking of buying one just to keep as I too Have known him form 1971. I have about 5 of his books.
I would not shoot film today( super expensive especially the 4x5 or 5x7 sheet film. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

I always thought I would use it someday when I have more time and could start a film project- but it just never seems to happen does it?
I keep it more as a piece of history currently- but someday I will capture my inner Edward Weston and make some hand held portraits, then make contact prints!

Thank you for sharing this I am on the fence about purchasing it. I would never use it to shoot film, Maybe just to have it. Thanks

Honestly, I cant make an offer as I really cant find out what the market is for this camera. I cant make a comparison. I know I dont want to spend more than 1500.00
Thats NOT what I am offering as this might be an insult. I am not trying to do that. I wish I had at least one to see what they are going for.
Again, this is not an offer its Just want to spend .As it has no use to me just to have it. Thank you Dennis
