I just acquired a Scovill & Adams Co. studio camera w/ it's original stand. Not sure I'm going to keep it yet, but I'm trying to figure out a few things about the camera. When measuring size on these do you measure the entire back itself? This one has an 8x10 back that can use modern holders, luckily. However, the back itself is much larger, measuring about 17x18inches. Does this mean I could possibly have a larger back made? I'm not sure how that fits in with the available formats of the day. Also, when measuring extension do you simply measure the length of the rails? This one has a double bellows extension, with one being about 32in, and the other being 31 inches.
Thanks in advance!
