ARCA SWISS REFLEX 4X5” CAMERA *RARE* W/ SCHNEIDER 210MM SYMMAR LENS ETC..
Camera has hardly been used and is cosmetically in mint condition. The foam is here and there a bit soft, the shutter longer speeds are sluggish and aperture closes to slow. Read on for more details below.
Al functions perfectly smooth. Not often found, or should I say very rare, in this complete and absolute high end set with these quality accessories. Never before seen model with a front central shutter. At the back it has a dark slide that open when the reflex mirror is pushed up with the chromed lever at the side. Note the camera has no serial number. Could it be a prototype? Camera front and rear can move independently into all directions. Tilt, shift, rise, fall, rotate.. Very nice and solid design. And with the Graflok film spring back.
Camera shows no signs of prior use and is in very good, mint condition. Shows no scuffs, few tiny scratches, no dings, no dents, no hammer tone paint loss, no chrome pitting and no chrome loss or Camera cover is original and shows no wear. Original bellows, tapered and square, are light leak free.
