[Leica] Friday FS: Sinar-rama

[dstella1 at ameritech.net (Dante Stella)]

I am selling this for a friend, so if you make an offer that is lower than 
what you see here, it may be a couple of days before I can get back to you. 
I have had the whole thing checked over by a different friend very 
conversant in large format to make sure the descriptions are accurate.

The whole package has been priced at $1,750 ? if you want to buy less than 
the whole thing, the prices are below. Shipping is extra, I won?t mark it 
up, but I will promise that it is not cheap to ship an 8x10 view camera. 
Paypal is fine.

        ? Sinar F 8x10 view camera. Consists of F front standard, F rear 
standard for 8x10 (note that this is set up for portraits; if you need more 
than 1? of rise, you need an F2 front standard), tripod body (3/8?), four 
rail sections (missing end caps, but this does not affect function), 8x10 
Sinar grid ground glass, standard bellows. Nice cosmetic and perfect 
functional condition. Includes Pelican 1600 (f/k/a ?King Pellican?) case and 
a dark cloth. You need to provide lens/shutter, lens board (I will throw in 
a rough but functional one), film holder, and sturdy tripod. $850.

        ? Sinar F small bellows (retired to shade duty). This is a bellows 
that you can use as a compendium shade. I have only one of the two L-shaped 
supports (I am told you need two). You can probably rig something to keep 
the shade up - if you don't want to just fork over $15 for B&H for a used 
second bracket. $25 (Domestic shipping: $7)

        ? Sinar/Copal Shutter (Norma vintage but fits most Sinars). This is 
a modern, mechanically-timed, press-type shutter for using barrel lenses 
with a view camera (you need a cone-type lens board). Good working order 
(tape on it was being used for filters). No cables/releases (PC synch 
connection is present). Includes the manual from a newer version $400. 
(Domestic shipping: $10)

        ? Schneider [Linhof] Technika Convertible Symmar (240/5.6 to 420/12 
- equivalent to a 28mm and 60mm) lens in Copal #3 shutter. 1979ish vintage, 
single-coated, and ? from what I am told ? a little easier to get shadow 
detail from than the newer MC optics. Front filter ring is a little 
distorted (still takes a filter), and there is a dent in the back 
(straightened where the metal extends past the glass - visible in one of the 
pictures). 8x10 coverage, but don't count on movements. Takes a modern Copal 
3 lens board. $250. (Domestic shipping: $10).

        ? Rodenstock APO-Ronar 480/9 (19") in Copal #3. Gorgeous lens in a 
very modern shutter (it?s still a rim set, but the rim is a couple mms deep 
from front to back and very easy to click). Glass is great. Another 1979ish 
single-coated lens. Your portraits will look awesome. 8x10 coverage, but 
don't count on movements. Takes a modern Copal 3 lens board. $450 (Domestic 
shipping: $10).

        ? Schneider Converitible Symmar (210/5.6 to 370/12) (everything 
blacked out but the serial number (this is a 1968-1969 lens); some Schneider 
spots around the rear element; could stand to be cleaned). This is in a 
barrel. Attempting to convert it to a shutter will likely result in the loss 
of the ball-bearing detent for the aperture (or so I have been warned). 
Requires a barrel lens board. 8x10 coverage, but don't count on movements. 
$75 (Domestic shipping: $7).

I can send details of any of the pictures at 
http://www.dantestella.com/sinar.jpg. They are a little out of order, but if 
you are interested in something, I can send you as many pictures as I have.

Thanks
Dante
