Description: Here's a B&J Watson 2/1/4 X 3 1/4" press camera with spring back and a 101mm F/4.5 Ektar lens. It's in very good condition showing some light wear as you can see. The Ektar lens is looks nice and is scratch/fungus-free. The shutter functions at all speeds with just a bit of sticking at T and B if you don't make sure the shutter release lever is allowed to come all the way back (AKA:minor detail!) The finder is clear as is the rangefinder, but I don't see the split image in it. Bellows appear to be light tight but I can't get the LED light in as well as I'd like. I don't know if the shutter's pneumatic release unit is working; probably not. The catch on the lift up screen shade can b e a bit difficult to close at times. No film holders included. This camera will make a GREAT display piece even if it never gets used again! Thanks to ebay/PayPal's current draconian policies regarding returns, we will no longer sell most items as working, but rather "officially" as parts, not working. Also, thanks to the same policies, we will no longer ship directly to any country other than the US. Any overseas buyers must buy thru the ebay shipping program. Everything is sold AS-IS; NO WARRANTIES offered on anything. The purchaser, upon receipt, might not agree as to our assessment of condition, but that's what it was HERE and it's being sold officially for parts or not working. It may or may not work at all when you get it! NO RETURNS or REFUNDS! If you do not agree with these terms DO NOT BUY IT!
