Here's one that Eric declined as irreparable. I sent it to Mark Hama in Georgia. Mark had it for a very long time but would not give up on it. $173 and 15 months later and she's good as new. Back in my hands for about 6 hours now, I can't wait to run some film through her.

Looks like it needs to go back.

It got repaired upside down.

The camera.

Well, at least the picture of it.

It’s the so-called “reality distortion field.” My iPad has it too.

Hi

It was a torn shutter streamer if my memory serves me correctly.

It is a really clean example. I sent it Eric for a CLA last summer so it should be good to go for another 40+ years

Here's the equipment I was using yesterday.

New gear. A Graflex Crown Graphic. I've always wanted one. Now finally. The body is in good condition. It hasn't been used in a long time. It came with a Schneider Xenar 135/4.7 lens. It's being sent to the camera shop for a sticky leaf shutter. Mounted is a Schneider APO Symmar 120/5.6 I've had laying around and I'm glad to give it some use. I haven't taken a picture yet but I think I'll be bonding with this camera. It has a rangefinder and it works.

More new gear. 6x7 Takumar 600/4. I just couldn't pass it up. It's one thing to look at it online but when it's right in front of you and you can touch it, GAS over powers any rational thought and is all consuming. 77mm filters fit at the lens mount end.
