Lotus Cameras, 4x10, 3500 euros, $4800
For what you get, looks like a reasonable price.

It's been up for a very long time, waiting for just the right buyer to come along.

A friend had a Lotus camera, something like a 4x10. It was a beautiful camera and very well made but I've always thought Lotus cameras in general were overpriced. I think you're paying a lot for the high cost of doing business in Austria. I also have a vague recollection of a well-publicized dispute they got into with a U.S. distributor or retailer some years ago, which maybe is why they don't have a bigger presence in the U.S.
