Hi!

I have the possibility to buy an Lancaster Instantograph, half-plate (12x16,5cm) which I, if I buy it, intend to use, both with homemade dry plates and sheet film. However, I do not have the possibility to try the camera before I buy it.

Therefore, I wonder if someone have a Lancaster Instantograph. I assume that the modern cameras are easier to work with but how is an old Lancaster to work with?

Unfortunatly there is only one plate holder. Does anyone know where one could find additional plate holders?

Here is a picture of a Lancaster Instantograph: http://www.photographica.nu/cameracol/lanc201n.jpg
