The last model MPP folder was the Mark 8 technical which is not seen often
but Mark 7s do turn up at £200-£400 depending on condition and whether a
standard lens is included.  A 90mm Angulon on a protruding panel can be
found at camera fairs for circa £100,  evidently used with the focussing bed
pushed  back into the body so no rising front available presumably, which
acknowledges that lens's limitations.  It's not worth buying an MPP in poor
condition unless you are good at engineering because for the added cost of a
commercial repair you could have bought a better camera.
Good light is a nice greeting. as it gets dark here about 4.30 and the whole
day is overcast.  At least we haven't had a repeat of last year's floods.

Philip, that's an interesting price. It's a pity the MPPs aren't much
seen here in Czechia. What is the usual price of the folders (like MPP
IV) there?

Thanks!

Good light,
