Price fixed at $450

Simple

The only link goes to FakrBook and I will not post that

eBay not an auction, all I know is on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/284505846451?hash=item423ddeb2b3:g:3igAAOSwF9phhDQJ)

It looks like discussed here:

?
There is a lot of Rochester era cameras, affordable in the same price range.
Kodak 2D with extension rail, no bellow, no back - 50 €
Used good bellow ~ 100€
8x10 back ~ 70£
Maybe I’m just lucky?

Three immigration waves, with Chicago as main destination (mad folks choose mad weather?) so there are some! Nice shot.

I'm honestly tempted, just for the weight and size. If I can make an 1888 ROC Universal work, I'm pretty sure I could use this.

Ditto, but I am taking a break from spending and shipping until mid January

Hopefully he still sells them then

I married an Estonian, we had a Latvian band at the suburban Estonian House for 24 hours. Dance hall, stage, kitchens and more

All food was made and brought in by Estonians

I bought in a huge amount of beer and spirits, hired a bartender and gave him a large tip, after

The band was asked to play on thrice, I boosted this with cash

Then my bride and I went to wine country for more

I have just bought that camera from Vist and I am anxiously waiting for almost 2 weeks for the camera to arrive. I hope to write an honest review soon.
