HI guys,
I'm looking to find a good Graflex XLS ( no rangefinder) with or without lens/lenses, does anyone knows where I can buy it?
There are some US online shop that will be able to help me?
Also, I know that the 4x5 adapter back for the XL is difficoult to locate, but how many has been made, more or less?
Thanks, any infos will be much appreciated.
Ciao

hey Giorgio
just so you know I had go look at a manual to see what you were asking
about as most people don't ask for the right thing when it comes to the
XL AND I am & can be 1 of them!! as to what I am talking about is I thought that my XLS was just a XL and most people call the XLRF just a XL!! so I just look at a manual at http://www.butkus.org/chinon/graflex/graflex_xl/graflex_xl.htm
just to see what you were talking about And I see that your right!!
Now as to where to get a XLS & the 4x5 adapter they do come up on ebay every now & then!! that where I got my ""XLS"" with a 95mm Rodenstock-Yasrex I now have a 100mm Carl Zeiss & a 180mm Rodenstock-Rotelar then a Multi-Grip all from ebay!!
BUT as I have the XLS & can see if you wont to make it! you can take a XLRF and take off the ranger-finder and put on a top .
at
http://www.bigcamera.com/articles/GraflexXLHybrid35mmUltraWide.htm
they have 4 different pages on changing a XLRF

as to the 4x5 adapter they do come up on ebay BUT they cost to much $$$$ for me as the last one that I seen go on ebay was more then I payed for ALL my XL stuff!!!

so keep looking & good luck
