selling a 1928 Speed Graphic w/ Zeiss - many questions!

[hokeypix]

So is is a 3x4, then? If I were still shooting, I'd keep it, but I stopped shooting a while ago (my work is in a show that just opened at the Brooklyn Museum..) : )

I just opened the bellows up all the way and straightened out the bed until it clicked down (hadn't done that before - oops). I'm just surprised that a nice large format camera from 1928 would sell for so little. I mean, I paid five dollars for it, but I didn't assume that's what it sells for on the open market.

Supply and demand....sounds like there are a lot of them available, plus the small film size doesn't help.

Let me repeat, that is one heck of a nice lens for B&W. I have one on a 1926 Zeiss Trona and it is sharp as a tack, even at f8-f11. @f16-f22, you will have problems telling it from any other really good lens.

But it is 3x4 and that will keep the market value down.

Shoot it, it's a nice format.
