The Complete Large Format Package:
CAMERA:
Horseman 4x5 monorail camera (mint) with International standard back / groundglass (all original, pristine).
What’s great about this camera? If you haven’t worked with gear-driven focus — and rack-and-pinion rise and fall — you don’t know the experience of adjusting, for example, the rise to exactly frame architecture or tall trees (or mountains) you are in for a treat! Smooth movement, and sure-feeling secure lock by simply twisting the knob!
LENS:
Schneider 58mm f/5.6 Super Angulon XL (mint), complete with the latest all-black Copal 0 shutter (mint).
What’s amazing about this lens? It has the ability with its massive image circle to allow almost endless rise and fall without vignetting the image. That’s what happens when a smaller-image circle lens starts to darken and even crop-off the corners of your beautiful landscape or architectural shots!
METAL LENSBOARD:
Matching Sinar spec lens board. (Mint). Lens is already expertly mounted. Fits perfectly.
FILM CHANGING BAG:
Photoflex portable darkroom (like new) for loading film holders. (as new).
This is a lifesaver for ensuring darkness and not ruining film, whether you’re loading or unloading for another day of photography or processing.
FILM HOLDERS:
Five (5) 4x5 film holders. These hold 2 sheets each, thereby allowing you 10 shots in the field. Lisco and Elite brand-name holders. These are tested and light-tight. No light leaks!
Because I have personally done photography with these film holders, you won’t have to waste money on faulty holders with light leaks that waste your valuable 4x5 film.
Schneider 58mm f/5.6 Super-Angulon XL a professional-grade ultra-wide-angle lens for large format (4x5) cameras, known for its excellent architectural distortion correction, 110° field of view, and ability to use lens movements with a large coverage circle. Bought new so it’s like new and great condition! One-owner.
It features a bright f/5.6 aperture for easier focusing in low light.
Mint condition.
Please note that tripod, gear head, and center filter are not included.
If you new to large format I can give you a hands-on lesson and give you a copy of my written step-by-step how-to page! My lenses are tested as I had to expose to 1/10 f-stop in my work.
Most of this large format equipment is no longer made. Also the majority of the cameras and lenses out there have seen hard use, poor care, and in some cases unseen damage. Others have had multiple owners and were used heavily.
This is a rare chance to acquire one-owner gear that was purchased new and treasured. By me.
Also there are big difference between cameras and lenses that some people who are new to LF are not fully aware of! This complete kit is superior and will allow to start with the best gear from the beginning, rather than buying mediocre stuff and trying to sell it later to find the right package once you realize the limitations. I was advised to start with the very best 4x5 equipment as you can see in this complete set! It will save you months of time (perhaps years) and heartbreak from buying substandard junk!
Local cash only. No Venmo, no Zelle, no funny money. No shipping! We do multiple checks for counterfeit bills bc my wife works in a bank.
Don’t write to ask if it works. It does. Also don’t write to ask if it’s still available. If you can see this ad it’s still available.
If you know what quality LF gear this is, and the remarkable excellent condition, you will invest in it!
