This is going to be an unusual post for Random Camera Blog. However, I’m trying to help out a fellow photographer, and patron of Monochrome Mania. Louise Desclos recently celebrated her 85th birthday. She lives in Nashua, NH, and if she were local, I’d be of more help, but she’s trying to sell off camera gear that’s she no longer able to use. Not because of anything wrong with the cameras, but at 85, heavy cameras, especially film cameras, are difficult to lug around. To say that she takes excellent care of her gear would be an appropriate statement. Everything gets a proper CLA from a local tech. If you think you would be interested in purchasing any of the following items, contact me and I will put you into contact with Louise. I don’t want to post her email here and have her bombarded with bots, etc. All of these cameras have been properly serviced and are in excellent shape. Hell. I’d buy them if I could, but I don’t need more medium format gear.
The price given includes shipping ONLY within the USA, and may be negotiable.
If you are interested, please message me (mfobrien AT gmail.com) with your email address, and I will forward it to Louise, and you will deal directly with her.
