Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.

The Gomz Turist is a Soviet folding medium-format plate camera for 6.5 × 9 cm plates, made in Krasnogorsk from 1934 to 1938; it is untested and its lens lacks a focusing mechanism, so it cannot be used for photography as supplied.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Gomz Turist Bakelite expanding camera for sheet film 6.5x9 cm or 6x9 roll film. An adapter is required. Here is the plate version. This rare Soviet medium-format camera was produced in Krasnogorsk from 1934 to 1938. The clear lens has the values f/4.5 and a focal length of 13.5 cm.
Achtung!!! According to an expert, this is not the standard optic, a focusing mechanism is missing and the focal length is a bit longer. This means: you cannot shoot with this lovely camera as it is. So only suitable for display or for collectors who have the standard lens to swap!!!!
The folding mechanism works perfectly, the bellows are in surprisingly good condition. The shutter with B, 1/25 to 1/100 second operates reliably; at the T setting it stays open and does not close anymore. Two different viewfinders. The very good condition of the body is evident from the many photos. Delivery includes a cassette. When folded, dimensions are only about 13.3 x 9.5 x 5 cm. Weight about 520 grams.
