In the first image I posted the camera was quite dark. I have the bag bellows on the camera (in this image) with a 135mm Symmar S lens. This tripod is heavier but it gets up higher than most tripods. I don't usually use the central column and have removed it and replaced it with a 6 or 8 inch one.
This is my favorite large format camera. I've had it for a number of years. I am the third owner. Peter Gowland gave it to photograher/collector/hollywood rental house maven and all around nice guy , Chick Donchin. Chick gave it to me. I used ta help him with projects etc.
That's the story of my Gowlandflex. Never for sale but I am curious as to value.
We don't do valuations. I also have one of those Gowlandflex thingies.

My 5x7 Deardorff camera was produced during WWII and uses round corner 4.5"x4.5" lens boards
Thanks Gandolfi for posting the amazing picture of 10 Gandolfis. I have a 4x5 Precision (black, which they called ebonized and charged extra for, although actually I prefer the usual wood ones) and a full plate Universal. In fact I was using the 4x5 Precision yesterday with New55 instant film.
Great cameras - Great craftmanship. A joy to use, don't you think?
