Had i got any skills in restoration, id love to give something like this a go ... maybe not your cuppa, but thought id point it out anyway

Thought you might be interested too @Pete Askew

Now there's a challenge! Thanks Hamish.

Thanks Hamish, I'll keep an eye on it. My restoration list is getting a bit too long at the moment though. I've 5 SLRs to repair at the moment, 2 rear focal plane shutters, 6 roller blind shutters, plus two field cameras. Not forgetting the Reiskamera

haha ... well with all that, one more cant hurt!

I could do with a fast lens but I think I'd prefer a 165mm f2.8 Tessar and that Ektar isn't worth touching. At the moment my fastest LF lens is a 6" f3.5 Press Dallmeyer fitted to a Dallmyer Press Camera, a re-badged Houghton reflex.
