Chet,
Heck -- send 'em to me! I've got a 4x5 Crown Graphic that I love.
Re the availability of the 2-1/4x3-1/2 film size, I have no idea. Most
owners of these camera use a roll film back on 'em to give them 6x7 roll
film capabilities with a press camera with limited swings, tilts.
There's definitely an interest in cameras like this, and eBay would probably
be the place to turn 'em into cash. It's where I got my stuff, at least.
I've looked for & couldn't find a mailing list for CGs, but photo.net has a
pretty extensive user base for 'em. There's also several web pages
dedicated to 'em -- do a search on Yahoo.
I might be interesting in the 4x5 lenses -- what are they?
HTH --
Dave

Hi guys,
I know this is an Olympus list but I have a question for you . I just
got
two old cameras, in very good to excellent condition. (see subject)
Both seem to have been well taken care of and the sutters seem to work
fine,
the bellows are in excellent condition looking new.
One is 4x5 and the other is 2¼X3¼ film size, Is this film still available?
Both have a flash attachment, the larger one has an extra lens, they
come
in a nice custom case with several film carriers and other misc cords and
stuff. I am not really set up to use these large format cameras. So I was
thinking of selling them and turning the cash into something else. Are
there
much interest in older cameras like this? OR do you guys know of someone I
could contact on this subject? I was going to put them on Ebay, or can you
recommend somewhere better?
Is there a mailing list like this for these cameras?
Thanks
Chet \\\0tO
