Hi All,

Trying to find out a bit more about the camera as I can't seem to find much on it? Not really sure what it is apart from the fact it's large format? Anything appreciated as I really know very little about film cameras and the way they work what they are etc.!

Thanks in advance!
 
What do you want to know? Is it in your posessoin or thinking of buying?

Yes, It's large Format. Should have a lens at one end, bellows in the middle and ground glass at the other.

You put a darkslide holding an 8x10 piece of film under the ground glass then open the shutter to take the shot.

Focus is achieved by racking the front or rear element closer together or further apart until the image appears sharp on the ground glass.

Ask away if you want to know anymore! There are many more intricasies to go over, but that;s the basics!
 
Thank you for the reply,

it's neither in my possession or intending to buy, researching it as i'm currently looking at a photographer who used it in his work, just know very little about large format cameras!

Very helpful reply! Thanks again!
