Hi all

I just picked up a Kodak Specialist 3 camera and cant find any info on it. Anyone know anything about these cameras?
Came with a Kodak Ektar f7.7 203mm, Prontor SVS shutter and a Zeiss Tessar f4.5 135mm with Compur shutter + 2 double sided plates.

Unfortunately the Zeiss is jammed and the Kodak Ektar seems a little temperamental but thought it was worth a try at £60 for the lot at a flea market.

Is it worth getting the Zeiss lens serviced (one small scratch but otherwise clear) or should I just try and find a replacement?

The camera seems to be in good working condition and all tilt, shift, swing function smoothly and lock in place securely. The bellows have been heavily patched on the corners but its done well and only found one small leak.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Douglas
