Below is a link to a camera on Ebay I have bid on and
since been outbid. The price is currently > $355.
It appears to be a near-mint Speed Graphic with
a Zeiss Tessar 135mm f/4.5 lens. I understand the lens
is pretty good even though not coated on the air-to-
gla s s surfaces. This camera has the Focuscope on the
Kalart Rangefinder which alone sells for $60 on Ebay.
Am I foolish to want this camera at this price?
I don't even have a 4x5 enlarger. But the speciman
is so pretty and it would be a wonderful big brother
to my Mini Speed (also with Tessar lens)
Any advise?
