    Description

    Baldax 6x4.5 German folding MF120 film camera Balda CLA works Priontor II Trioplan
    If you wonder why I have same shipping to European union like for rest of world it is thetherefore because  for these sales needs to be paid VAT  to government. There is no option in ebay software how to set it I am using part of shipping charge (and still loosing on sales to EU). If you are from EU and you will purchase 2 or more items I will arrange for you special shipping  charge that  can be lower like for heaviest item itself! If you are from Europe but not from European union or you have valid EU VAT No., do not pay and ask me for shipping charge mentioned bellow in description.
    To many EU countries now I can arrange courier shipping in range €8-23. If you will bid in this auction, ask in advance, or at least prior making a payment I will tell you exactly how much charge will be to your destination.
    To USA I am offerińg now Fedex economy shipping. Experiences so far shows that delivery takes 6-7 days and I will shorten handling time to 3 days max. I still need some time to test, remove eventuell problems that by old cameras during storing can happen and pack it. If possible I will send them at the beginning.
    Well quality folding camera made by Balda Werke in Germany in years 1935-38. In its time is was very well usable camera. It takes 6x6 or 6x4.5 pictures on 120 rollfilm. Optical viewfinder with parallax correction.
    Camera was manufactured for size 6x6 (more common) and 6x4.5 like this one. This is the earlier variety without release. It is uncommon and not easy find one nice. This is until today perfect user camera.

    Air mail shipping and handling charge is
    WORLDWIDE

    - INSURED; to
    European countries those are not in European union

    REGISTERED (letter), it has automatic insurance coverage up to

    (Euro) per packet, contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option. They do exist express options (courier) to most EU countries, cost are different (low) you need ask about them separately.
    If post will confirm that insured packet was lost or damaged (you need claim by delivery) I will replace it - when impossible refund the full amount. I need wait for post confirmation, too many crooks lately trying to have both item and money.
    It is included in it incombinable packing and handling charge that remains by combined shipping. Rest of charge I will combine and calculate just true shipping charge for packet to your country if you will purchase more items.
    I have declared up to 10 days handling time for my items. I need this time to control and last time test every item, for items shipped out of European union put it in custom office that needs 2-3 days prepare documents and transfer packet to post office. Expected postal delivery time is usually up to 2 weeks but delays simple happens, for example in USA packet often need more days for security control in custom office. For these reasons I choose to check ebay shipping option "economy shipping ... 11-20 business days", I hope that you will get as quick as possible (in most cases you can calculate get packet 1.5-2 weeks after payment date if you are in European union, 2-3 weeks for rest of world) but really I can not affect work of custom and post offices worldwide anyway and delays can happen. Online trackable it is in some countries, for example USA, China, Japan.
    Contact me before making any Ebay or Paypal claim, PLEASE!
    Combined shipping saves often costs per item considerably but not in all situations, ask about exact items. By very cheap item is possible ship uninsured - this will cost less, but I will do it only if you will declare that you will not make any claim if packet will be lost by transport.
    Look at my other auctions for more camera items!
    Greetings from Slovakia and happy bidding!
    Sorry, usually I can't reply questions during Friday-Sunday. If is some difference between description and picture usually is mistake in description, by cameras, lenses, prisms, etc, picture always show actual item (some small items like extension tubes, flash shoes, etc can be exception). I will correct all links until Tuesday.
