|
|
I am looking for a quality vintage Large Format camera. I am weary of reading, "Near mint speed graphic century graflex with kodak lens. [then at the bottom] "Excellent collector's piece (the shutter does not work and the bellows do not stay attached to the camera)..." on and on listing after listing.
Can you reccommend someone who restores these camera (Graflex, Meridian, Busch, Conley)?
Thanks,
Lyn |

by Restore do you mean to like new condition or fully operational? _________________ The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU. |

Thanks for the quick reply. I would like a fully operational camera. Cosmetics or 'original' aren't that important.
Thanks |

Then, yes I can provided its not missing parts, screws and nuts excluded.
Many repair shops will not service old equipment as parts are not available, and the few that do will not guarantee the camera can/will be repaired. _________________ The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU. |
