Interesting .... you HAVE to see this ;)
« on: February 07, 2015, 12:32:42 PM »
Now .. I do not encourage filmwasters members to post for sale items on the main board ... in fact I have removed posts for that very reason in the past ............ but, I'm going to break my own rules (well, there has to be some benefit from joint-owning and paying for the site for the past 10 years ... surely?) :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231473989938?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

It is such a nice camera, and they rarely come up for sale. So I thought, from the goodness of my own heart, that I'd raise the sale-profile as much as I can to give you all the opportunity of owning such a lovely camera - the medium format 'mini-linhof'esque Horseman 985 - RangeFinder or Ground-glass, 6x9 or 6x7, full range of movements. It is simply a class act.  I'll be sad to let it go, but since buying the Chamonix 5x4 and 6x9 reducer back, I just don't use it anymore.

Some of my photos taken with this:

Now that's spooky, Leon.  I was watching your Vimeo guide on this very camera last night......

Do all the lenses have the same odd focusing vignetting effect?

I'm glad I didn't see this in time as I would have spent £400 I don't have

Movements my friend. Movements. It's called interpretive pictorialism, or secession from realist dullness. The camera is perfectly capable of making clean evenly lit and sharp pictures if that is your bag.
