I've got a mate with a Gandolfi Precision. He says that the bellows are OK. It comes with 8x10, Full Plate (6 1/2 x 8 1/2), 5x7 & 4x5 backs. It's in the UK. I have no idea of the value but I'm bloody sure that it's well out of my leauge. Anybody got any idea of it's value?
Thanks,
Pete.

There's a similar one on ebay right now, which I think is somewhat overpriced.

I'd like to buy the 7x5 back...

Edit: the 5500$ (3400£) for the bay camera is a lot, but there's a lot of extras for it.

I bought mine for about 2500£, but that was 20 years ago.... (and just for the camera with one (nice) lens and a 4x5 reducing back and case)

recently mwclassic sold a similar camera for about 3500£... no idea if that turned up to be the final peice...

Vut they should be pricey as they are the best cameras!! ;-)

For a 10x8 Gandolfi with the backs I would expect to pay no more than £1,200 . You can pick up a Deardorff with the same spec for that price , the half plate back is of no use what so ever and getting film for 7x5 in the UK is a challenge so what you are getting hold of is a 10x8 plus 5x4 reducing back, I would also see if you can get hold of any lens boards , they are not to easy to get hold of .
