14x17' Climax Camera, 420 mm Voigtlander Lens and Deardorff Bi-Stand

$4000.00 USD

Selling as a set if possible: 

  • 14x17" Climax Camera by E. & H.T. Anthony & Co. made in New York. Nice wood with original patina. Bellows are operable as-is, have some tape on them. The back is not original, it is a custom made revolving spring back for modern film holders.
  • 420 mm Voigtlander Heliar lens. The aperture works smoothly, the glass is clean, and I believe the barrel has been repainted at some point. Overall lovely condition.
  • 9' Deardorff bi-post stand. Could be cut down to fit into a 8' room without too much difficulty. Runs smoothly, counterweights are all present. Original paint, still shining like new.
