Thinking of Selling My Tachy

Bad news. Reacted too rashly when I saw the headlights of a guard recently. Ran across the cement walkway along a pool. Tripped on a wire basket that was essentially invisible in the moonlight. Lens board broke.

I've been thinking about getting rid of my tachy (well, really it's an exact copy of a tachy - a Calumet wood field - for quite some time. I love LF photography, but the types of exploring I've been doing lately don't really suit it. Taking it out in the field adds an extra 20 lbs, give or take (with the lens, body, film cartridges, etc).

My digi body was stolen recently. Window bashed through in broad daylight on a busy street. Crackhead. So I bought a new one, which is approaching the resolution of a good Medium format. I thought it was time... It's a sad moment, but it could be your win if you're interested in it.

I'll take all reasonable offers.

It looks like this. The bellows is still supple. It's in good shape... except, when I dropped it, one of the focusing knobs broke off. The focusing assembly would need to be replaced, or you could still take photos with it in its current state.
