4x5 R.B. Auto Graflex Folmer Schwing Large Format Camera 1906-41

I am offering a nice clean camera in Excellent + condition. This beautiful vintage camera shows some use with wear on the leather covering. Please look at photos provided for over-all condition. This is an SLR camera. Has a mirror and cloth shutter. Both are in fine condition and works. Not sure how accurate. Lens is clean and clear but does have slight haze and light cleaning (scratches) marks. When looking through the viewfinder the image is clear so I am not sure what effect this would have on the image, I would not think a whole lot. Close focus was simple but distant objects I could not get it to focus. Not sure what I am doing wrong. UPDATE: I found out what I was doing wrong. A kind person wrote to tell me that this lens belongs on the Graflex Series D and not this camera. That is why I could not get distant objects to focus. He thought I should split the lens and camera and sale them separate. The cool silver lens looks great with this camera so I decided to keep it this way and let you know it is the wrong lens. The lens in this sale is a Wollensak 7 ½” (190mm) f4.5 Raptar made in Rochester U.S.A.. If you wanted to take photographs with this camera you would need to replace the lens. I was told that the 4x5 RB auto Graflex uses 10 inch 250mm lens as a standard which allows the camera to focus to infinity. The camera is circa 1906-41 Shipping weight: 11 pounds
