I saw it yesterday and thought of your (apparently incomplete!) collection, Emil!

Perhaps you could put some of your other Gandolfis on sale here to satisfy your lust?

EEEK.. That will never happen! (some lenses/images perhaps...)

I have been looking at it again after he has put up some nicer bigger images.

I think it is a "modern" "Variant" - not a "Traditional..

It is way overpriced inmo but I'd like to try it out....

These tapered bellows are always a source of problems - even early in their life.
Give me square bellows everytime.

yes - but looking at it, it seem the seller "just" don't know the "system".. it looks like there's a "contraption" to lock the front part of the bellows together in this position - a lock that will be unlocked in using long bellows draw.. (?)

But yes - square is easier..

When people have 'Make an Offer' available, I take the opportunity. You've got nothing to lose by offering what you think is a fair price for the camera. If you really want it, of course (no I'm not the seller.... I could never sell a camera like that).

I think Emil is correct. I don't think Fred and Arthur used anything but polished brass for the metalwork on the "real" Gandolfis. The knobs also look far too modern as well.

The seller says in the listing that the camera was made in 2002.

Ah well at least we were right. Spent too much time looking at the pics that I didn't get round to reading the blurb.
