Not mine and as far as I know I'm not acquainted with the seller. And I'm not going to bid on it.

Super design - might even be practical too.

Reminds me a little of that Italian maker - LuPa - from the 50's and, of course, the 13x18 cm Studio camera from Voigtländer in 1954. I love round lens boards and just won a 15x12" teak camera on "that place" with them.

Downright interesting! I have several Printex cameras which have round lens boards, surprisingly the same size as a CD.
I might just emulate the board shown in that FULUF camera.

Wow, cool! Neat design. The machining and overall look and feel remind me a lot of the Meridian 45A / 45B cameras.

Eccentric lens mount, looks very sturdy.

Looking to find out when a linhof technika iv was produced? 62756 is the serial number I think located on acessory shoe?

Very unique camera, I like how the front and rear standards protect the bellows when closed.
That lens mount that doubles for a rise and shift (?) must be a pain to use.
