Fujica GS645 Professional 6x4.5 Bellows Folding Camera.

This amazingly compact medium format film camera is generally in good used condition, it has a very sharp Fujinon 75mm f3.4 lens (equating to approximately 46mm in 35mm film).

The good news is that the shutter fires accurately and the meter works and is accurate (batteries included). The rangefinder patch is bright and moves well (but may require adjusting).

The optics are clean and free from scratches, fungus or haze,

The bad news is that the folding door mechanism is damaged, presumably because then door was forced closed (see note below!), and it appears that one of the struts that helps fold the lens was broken and a past repair has been attempted, and has failed. It still opens relatively easily but needs help clicking into place and it is very fiddly to close.

The bellows have pin holes so would need replacement.

This camera is sold strictly as spares or repair as the door mechanism and bellows issues prevent it from working properly so no returns please. There are lots of good spares and theoretically you could replace the bellows and somehow fix the door permanently open and use it as a non folding camera?

*Please be aware that with these camera the lens will ONLY retract when the focus is set to infinity AND the shutter is cocked, if not then the mechanism can be damaged if forced.
