Some info on the camera here:
http://www.earlyphotography.co.uk/site/entry_C32.html
I picked this camera up almost a year ago at a vide grenier ( car boot sale to you guys! lol)
Like many of its kind, it hadn't been particularly well cared for, the lens/ shutter housing was loose , and the whole apparatus was so thick of "hard set" dust that i litterally had to scrape a finger nail though it in an attempt to check the state of the bellows before trying to haggle a price ...anyone ever attempted that in France ???......my lord, it's so hard ! lol
Some TLC and the red bellows showed up to be in reasonable shape, the rear "door" is somewhat of a loose fit though and is where the light entry is coming from I think, however for a camera dating back 100 plus years it has shown some potential in what it can offer particularly in the first shot........the detail is superb.
To grab a snapshot of one of my puddy tats was quite an achievement tbh ..... that was shot F/4, guessed metering and pure pure chance that she would stay something like stationary! lol
Appologies for the other not so good attempts but I thought I'd show all 5 frames shot on a roll of 120 Fomopan film ( modified to fit the camera, hence the panoramic style framing!)
Devd in LC29
Thanks for taking time to look
