I have owned this camera from new and it is in excellent condition (please see photos). I am selling it very reluctantly only because I can no longer justify ownership.
The camera has been well looked after and all moving parts work smoothly, exactly as they should; the geared rises and lateral shifts offer very precise control and are designed for (and can be operated) one handed. The chassis, gearing and bellows show very light use only, while the fresnel screen is near enough spotless, except for one slight mark (barely perceptible). Please note the rail for this camera is the 30cm telescopic version rather than the folding variety (again, please see photos for operation). The lens panel size for this camera model is 171mm x 171mm.
