I will probably regret this since this lens is spectacular, but as I never use it and have this exact same lens on my Polaroid 100 which I use almost daily, I'm selling this camera to make funds.

It's a pretty basic but functional 6x9 folder, with a great Angenieux 100mm f/4.5. Originally built for 620 film, I have filed down the feeding chamber so it accepts regular 120 film. The take-up chamber still needs a 620 spool, and I will include one with the camera.

Price is 45€ excluding shipping and Paypal fees. I might consider a trade (plus cash on my part) for a really cheap m4/3 body.

A thread on this same camera is here.

Very nice condition camera. I've never seen one with an Angenieux lens before, certainly looks like a good one. If I didn't already have lots of folders I would be interested.

If you've never seen the difference in quality between 6x9 and 35mm, it is pretty shocking, 6x9 is so much better and these old folders are very capable photographic tools.

Thanks Ian, this lens is really good, as are the anastigmats and anastigmat specials mounted on "regular" kodak folders from the same era.

As for 6x9, you're absolutely right. Shooting large negatives is eye opening if you have always only used 35mm.

Anyway, this camera is now sold, I put it on local ads and it was snatched in a matter of hours.
