thanks for the quick reply, the 11x14 seems a lot lighter than my Cambo 8x10 studio camera, and its more compact
The focusing glass seems like it has ripples on it, maybe it sagged after 100 years by a bit. I hope the standard 11x14 film holder that I ordered for it fits onto it
Later I will probably make my own glass plate holder for experimentation, or just lay a piece of glass manually in a dark studio. For film I will be using ultra high contrast document type film, developed in very low contrast developer.
The 11x14 lens board that came with it is a bit smaller than my Cambo 163x163 mm board, so I ordered another Cambo board and will file it down to fit. The little wood board that came with the camera is kinda useless anyway, but I don't want to trim any wood or modify anything, as this is an antique and I will treat it as such.
