Beautiful time warp antique Seneca 5X7 Outfit with 2 lenses and 4 film holders included. This old camera would be an awesome place to begin your large format journey. The "normal" lens is a Buasch & Lomb "Zeiss" Tessar 180mm f4.5 in an American made Compound shutter. The pieces date to about 1905 so they are in remarkable shape. The Wide Angle lens is the classic Bausch & Lomb Protar Series V of 4 7/16" focus (122mm). Very wide on 5X7. The shutter runs great. It fires with Pneumatic bulb. The wide angle is a barrel lens. It's pretty normal to stop these down to f64 and usually the exposure times are manageable using a hat. Both lenses can make stunningly sharp images. $525 plus a bit for the postman. Tripod not included.

Thanks for the encouraging words. Gives me a chance to say; OBTW camera and lenses and holders can all be sold separately for whatever seems right, it's not cast in stone as an unbreak-up-able out fit. Let me know what you want and what you think it might be worth. Thanks!!!
