At a good camera store somewhere in Texas, I stopped in this afternoon to kill some time before meeting old friends for dinner. Nothing much in the used case, except this:
A vintage Sinar P from the early 70’s. Near-perfect condition—all movements smooth, all gear tracks apparently unworn, no scratches, bellows good, lubricant not dried out, detents crisp—in a condition I would call EX++, using the KEH scale.
Priced very well at three bills.
Then, they brought out the “case and accessories” that were part of the package. It looks like a late Norma case adjusted to hold the P. Inside the case were three extension rods, bellows clips, four or five lens boards, a binocular viewer, fresnel, five film holders, a 6” extension rail, an 18” extension rail, a multipurpose standard (aka the front standard for an F), and a Wide Angle Bellows I.
The case is also in near-perfect condition.
Even the cost of shipping it home didn’t slow me down.
I need some weight training anyway.
