Evil genius? Or 'used car salesman'?

<p>Someone has this up on ebay at the moment (not me):</p>

<p >I showed it to my fiancee. I don't think it would work. Plus, what a waste of a perfectly good, restorable 4x5 camera! I was already wondering what I have that I could use as a back for that thing, without looking like it was duct-taped onto the back of the camera.</p>

That's Andy Glover, who, over the years, has sold some great lenses, a couple of which I've bought. There are a number of people who follow his auctions just to read his descriptions. They aren't ordinary, to say the least.

 

As to the waste of a 4x5, well, it's got neither pedigree nor provenance. Tossing it into the stove for heat might be its' highest possible use.

<p>Glad to see Andy Glover is back at it again on eBay! :-) Dagor 77 comes up with some of the most interesting stuff on the 'Bay!</p>

<p>Yeah his got married recently so he knows what he talks about. :-)</p>

[jodys]

<p>LOL- well I figured with a handle like 'Dagor77', he might be known around these parts...</p>

[leicaglow]

<p>Love the copy he has with the camera. It's very Jay Abraham-ish.</p>

<p>This could be turned into at least 2 artsy fartsy crafty picture frames, or a really cool fireplace bellow.</p>

<p>He's slipped his moorings. Quotes process lenses' coverage at 1:1 as at infinity. Not correct, unethical, ... Didn't used to make quite such outrageous claims.</p>

<p>I've been buying interesting stuff from Dagor77 for probably 10 years. Ethical, good merchandise, and the write-ups are worth the price of admission.</p>
