FROM THE ESTATE OF A COLLECTOR. Some of them are fairly rare. ALL of them are interesting and historic examples of the early Japanese camera industry. This item is a used vintage photographic collectible from the estate of a camera collector in Florida USA . It is offered here as a display piece or an item that will need some restoration or service. It is NOT being offered as an every day working useable camera or lens. Many of them that are offered here are in really nice condition but just need some TLC. We will mention the condition of each item to the best of our ability. These items are old and in some cases well used cameras averaging 50-70 years old. You can’t expect them to be perfect. In view of the facts outlined above there are NO RETURNS on the items in this collection. Thank you for your bid on this rare low production post war Japanese Ruvinal 120/620 dual format camera made by Shoei Mfg. Co c1951. Serial number is a low four digit number 7086. This camera is rarely seen outside of Japan and is even quite scarce there as well. It is equipped with a 7.5cm/3.5 Wester Anastigmat lens serial no.18085 in an NKK shutter with speeds B-1 to 1/200 th . sec. This is unusual as this camera has only been seen before with a Pentagon or Sertitar lens. It is also unusual that this dual format camera shoots 120 and 620 film. Not a common combination. The focus is smooth the lens is clean and clear and the shutter is working on this camera. However we can’t guarantee the shutter to be accurate. The only real issue we could find is that the eyepiece lens has been installed at the rear of the eyepiece and not in the usual location in front of the eyepiece ring. It still works but should be re-located at some point to its proper location. All the leather is original as is the rest of the camera. The camera comes with its leather case with the logo and strap. A rare 120/620 Japanese camera for your collection! Shutter: Good. Focus: Good. Curtains: Advance: Good. Rewind: Good. Self Timer: None. Rangefinder: Viewfinder: Slight dust inside. Mirror: Flash Synch: Good. Lens optics: Slight dust inside. Body: Typical surface marks. Bellows: Good. Spool: Other: Condition: EX+ No Returns! Item is offered “As Is” Ple... read more
