Here we go! Edit: Some now on Ebay
1 – SOLD – Bowens Gemini 500 kit. As seen, has been sitting in the corner of the studio for too long. I used to use it for the occasional digital freelance job. Softboxes, brollies, power cables, synch cable, two 500W heads. Fully working. No modelling lamps as I shoot tethered. Two cases, one for main lamps etc and the other for softboxes and brollies.
2 – SOLD – W Watson and Sons 10×12 inch field camera project. Needs work ie bellows. Comes with five plate holders, only one of which fits very well but needs one hinge . The other four are rough but may be adapted or used for spare parts.
Fixed in portrait format for some reason. Could be easily adapted to landscape.
3 – SOLD – Pinhole Camera 5×4. Small amount of damage to wood, does not affect use. No idea what size pin hole. I’ve never used it. No idea why I have it as I don’t like pinhole photography that much.
4 – My decapitated Mamiya Press camera. Ground glass back, 6×9 back, a couple of holders and film pack.
90mm f3.5 lens, very sharp. Great little camera and a bit of fun.
5 – SOLD -Korona Home Portrait camera project. It comes with a whole plate and half plate back. I have the remains of the old bellows that could be used as a template. You’ll need to adapt some fittings to put it back together.
6 – Studio Camera by Goerz with two tambour plate holders, half plate and 13×18.
I had the back rebuilt by Mark Voce and a spare plate holder made into the ground glass screen for precision.
Amazing solid studio camera. I’ll probably lose money on this one.
7 – Whole plate camera as is. Refurbished by a previous owner. No plate holder. Sound bellows.
8 – G Mason and Son of Leeds Whole plate tailboard project with one plate holder. Needs a deep clean, new bellows or patching. I have one plate holder that fits very well.
9 – Kodak No.3, unusual back. Working shutter.
10 – Zeiss Ikon Baby Box camera, it is what it is.
11 – SOLD – Kodak No.3A with pack film back and a loose fitting ground glass screen. No shutter so just cover and open the lens. Locking mechanism faulty so stays open.
12 – Unusual large stereo plate holder. Two plates inside. No idea what camera this is for.
13 – SOLD – Falling Plate camera, two plates included. ? MIDGE
14 – Praktica FX2 35mm with waist level finder. Working shutter.
15 – Zenith Olympic 35mm slr lacks locking mechanism, I’ve always liked the weight of this camera. Working shutter and case.
16 -Olympus 35 RD 35mm rangefinder. Working shutter. My eyesight is too poor to see the lens settings.
17 – Zeiss Ikon 9×12 camera. I could never figure out how to get it onto the focus rail 🙁 lovely camera, some damage to woodwork.
18 – Agfa Optima 1A 35mm camera. Fully working, I bought it just for the unusual frame counter on the side. Some surface rust. Could do with a clean.
19 – SOLD – Yashica Electro 35. Another rangefinder that challenges my eyesight. Very sharp lens. Light seals were replaced a few years ago so works great.
20 – Two Industrial studio lamps for your trendy loft apartment. Bulbs just for show, would look great with those large filament ones.
21 – SOLD – Burr 6 inch brass petzval lens with flange.
22 – SOLD – Pneumatic shutter project, blades are stuck in casing, so will need an overhaul.
23 – SOLD – Ross Epidiascope lens 17 inch f4.5 with flange. No aperture, its just wide open by design.
24 – Ross Epidiascope Lens 17 inch f4.5 no sleeve or flange. Needs a clean.
25 – SOLD – Carl Zeiss Jena 21cm f4.5 almost scratch free. Has flange.
26 – Dallmeyer 14 inch f5.6 rough as…. paint flaking but might be of use to someone.
27 – Darkroom candle safelight. Red glass cover.
28 – SOLD – Folding darkroom candle safelight. Red fabric. Box is delicate.
29 – frames, chems and film (film sold)… see pics
30 – Ilford N.50 backed glass plates. These came out of a Chapel in Yorkshire when I picked up a Hunter Penrose camera. I’m kidding myself I’ll use them for anything. Some have been used.
31 – SOLD – Photographic plate box. Lock no key. 4 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches plate size??
32 – SOLD – Parker Countess Vacuum printing frame. Spare bulbs.
33 – Wooden display box – Ritmeester Mild Dutch Cigars. I bought to use as a display stand for small plates and jewellery at events. Never did.
34 – Revelation Expanding suitcase. Extends from 6.5 to 9 inches deep. Unusual.
35 – SOLD – Job lot of stuff and bits n bobs. I’ll keep adding to.
If your interested in anything just email or message me here. Make me an offer I can’t refuse. 🙂
Will end up on Ebay otherwise, percentage of sales to go to MIND, the mental health charity.
Please share amongst your photo friends, when this is gone I can find some more…
What’s a fair price for the 210mm f4.5 Zeiss Tessar? I already have one with nice glass but a previous owner seems to have ground out the diaphram so it wpild be nice to have one with an adjustable aperture.
Hi Pete, I’ve replied via email.
Hi there, do you still have the G Mason and Son of Leeds Whole plate?
Can you recommend anyone who custom makes plate holders and backs?
Thanks ?
You could try the talented Mark Voce at https://vocecameras.com/
I have no idea, I’ll take a look next time I’m in the studio. I know that the no name whole plate is still there. I’ll get back to you.
