Rare Envoy Medium Format Camera (needs attention)

Description

This amazing fixed focus camera has delivered me outstandingly sharp and rich tonal images over the years. The Taylor Hobson f6.5 65.mm F32 lens has outstanding rendering capabilities when stopped down.
There is a yellow filter fitted which is useful for some black and white users. The filter of course has kept the lens nice and clean.
The lens shade is indispensable.
The Compur shutter is sticky and needs some care to get it running smoothly again. It works on the fast speeds.
As you probably know Compur shutters need regular use or they gum up.
I regularly stopped down to the max and used the ‘B’ function as my shutter control most of the time and bypassed the preset shutter speeds completely but of course when the Compur is maintained the slow speeds work perfectly should you wish to use them. The shutter speeds are working down to 10th sec. 5th, half and full 1 second are not.
Also there is nothing stopping you experimenting by exposing the same piece of film multiple times as it is a manual wind.
With a little care and sensitivity you can produce stunning 6x9 negatives sharp edge to edge with this wonderful little piece.
