In case anyone is interested...Jock Sturges is selling his old 8x10 Kodak Master camera, along with an vintage original 8x10 contact print on Ebay.

I think there was a thread on the board about someone asking what lens Jock used. Well, here is your chance to just buy his whole camera!

Congradulations on Jock's new baby girl also! (The reason for selling the camera)

This will be an interesting one to watch.

haha. That is what I was thinking. Its only been up for a few hours...and its already bid up too a few thousand dollars. Im sure whoever buys it will keep it as a collector item and not a camera they use.

Interesting piece of photographic history..

What would the original print be worth?

Could be worth buying just for that! Good way to sell the camera anyway, nice marketing touch.

Interesting. I'm going to watch this auction just to see what the final price is.

I'm watching it as well.

Prints for reproduction aren't necessarily regarded as "fine prints" for collecting and exhibition purposes, but since was for an important book, it might fetch more than most.

Over $2500 with 5+ days left. Too high...unless the camera actually comes with a few prepubescent French girls who have looks in their eyes as if some dirty old fart with a view camera just stole pieces of their souls.

What would the original print be worth?

Judging by his current prices and the fact that it was used in the making of the book, I'm guessing you could get in the 700.00 to 1800.00 range as long as it is signed. The provenance letter he promises wouldn't hurt either.
