On the XLSW, using the 47mm lens the reproduction range will be 0.5:1 to 0.4:1. By adding the 1" Spacer, not included in this auction, you can acheve 1:1 reproduction with the 100mm lens.

Graflex XL Polaroid Land Film Holder Back for XL XLS XLSW and Brooks Veriwide

Graflex XL Polaroid Land Film Holder

This is the rare, must-have Polaroid Back that fits on the back of all of the Graflex XL Series Cameras and the Brooks Veriwide XL.

I purchased this one to have a spare and so I could shoot 2 different Polaroid films at the same time, however I now need to finance my latest acquisition, my first complete Sinar View Camera.

Before I go into the condition of this beauty, I would like to share my experience using one of these with my Graflex XLSW. The exposure functionality works the same as any Polaroid Type 100 film holder, however the attaching mechanics were a bit cumbersome for me when I first acquired my back.

This information only applies when using the 1" or greater spacers.
If you take a look at Images 2 through 6, this is the side of the holder that attaches to the camera. Please note how the attachment knobs are recessed into the holder, or the ends of the holder stick out towards the camera. This is so that the holder can be also be used as a grip to hold the Graflex XLSW or Brooks Veriwide cameras.
Because of this, when using the 1" Spacer, it is rather difficult to lock and unlock the sliders. I can just barely fit my smallest finger into the space between the Polaroid back and the spacer to reach the sliders. So switching back and forth between ground glass and Polaroid back is practically impossible, without nudging the camera,and at the least, is rather irritating.
The solution to this is incorporating two 1" spacers in your kit, one for the ground glass and one for the Polaroid back. A more elegant solution is to use two 1/2" spacers which have handles at the top of the spacer to move the sliders.
In short, stock up on all of the spacers that you can.

Though I never used this Polaroid back, the condition is the best that I have ever seen. The slightest problem is small chips on the corners of the darkslide. Please refer to the magnified view of Image 6. I have confirmed that this will have no impact on usage. The rollers are clean and without issue. A minimal light cleaning may be in order, but not required.

Shipping will be provided by USPS Priority, worldwide. First Class is not available as the film holder will be shipped with Tracking and Insurance.
Payment shall be rendered via PayPal within 12 hours of the auction's end.
Please don't hesitate to message me should you have any questions or there is has been an error or omission on my part.
Thank you for looking and good luck.

Fuji PA-145 Instant Film Holder: Shoot 3x4 Instant Film on your 4x5 Graflok back

FujiFilm PA-145 Instant Film Holder for
Fuji FP-100B, FP-100C, FP-3000B, Polaroid Type 100 like 665, 669

The Fuji PA-145 Film Holder is the Fuji version of the Polaroid 405 film holder, which allows for Type 100 Instant Film to be used in any camera that has a 4x5 Graflok.

Being the same fit as a standard 4x5 cut film holder, the Fuji PA-145 may be able to fit under the Ground Glass just as a film holder fits, however it is strongly suggested not to mount instant film holders in this manner being that you may damage your springs, due to the thickness of the instant film holder.  The International Graflok allows for sliders to slide into place to hold the back at the top and bottom edges.

The Fuji PA-145 Instant Film holder is essential for the 4x5 large format photographer wishing to use instant film, as 3x4 Type 100 film is the only Instant peel apart film currently in production, other than the Impossible Project 8x10 film.

This film holder is in perfect condition.  With original dark slide, that locks into place

Shipping will be provided by USPS Priority Mail.

Payments are due via Paypal within 12 hours of auction end.

Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you kindly for your consideration.

Sinar Copal Auto Aperture Shutter f5.6 for Sinar DB Mount Lenses



Sinar Auto Aperture Copal Shutter f/5.6

With the Sinar Auto Aperture shutter you can mount Sinar DB mount boards and have consistent speeds across al lenses, as well as enjoy discounted prices due to their lack of attached shutters.

I have tested that each speed is functioning and the the shutter blades close and open as expected.  The speeds sound consistent, though I have not professionally tested them.

There are NO CABLES INCLUDED with this shutter, however I performed the tests with my own cable.

The slightest issue worth mentioning is  when using the red button on the side for preview mode, sometimes the iris does not completely open and some assistance is required via the lever.  I wanted to post a picture of this, however, the shutter functioned properly each time I tried.  (camera shy I imagine :-) 

Payment And Shipping
Payment must be rendered by PayPal within 12 hours of auction end.  Shipping will be provided via USPS Priority Mail or Fedex with Insurance.
Please send a message for custom shipping options or if you should have any questions.

Newton 4x5 New-Vue Lens Board, 51mm - Very Rare!




Newton New-Vue Lens Board 51mm

Newton New-Vue 51mm Lens Board


Considering the rarity of these lens boards, I have to say that this one is in good shape.

I am selling it only because, I need capital and having an empty lens board around means that I will have to purchase a lens to fill it.

This is an authentic Newton New-Vue lens board having a 51mm hole and has 4 orthogonal, threaded holes to attach a flange, typically used with barrel lenses.

The 4 threaded holes lie on a circle, 61mm in diameter.

The board weighs in at 3.2 ounces or 90 grams.

Just to share, the Newton Cameras were brilliantly engineered in Los Angeles, California circa 1948.

This item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box, worldwide.

Upon winning an auction, payments are due within 12 hours of auction end.

Thanks for looking at this item as well as my other Photographic Goodies.

Cheers!
