Gandolfi "Traditional" aka "Precision" Camera
Thanks to Emil I now know at least the correct name of this nice old camera. I just purchased it from an auction in the UK and it was stated to have had some restoration work (new bellows, and more?) done in 1990. I believe that it was made between 1938~75 and I'm really looking forward to learning how to use it properly, but that will take some time for sure! Have been reading about tripods, film & holders, and such here on the site, and thanks to all for putting up such great information!!! The Camera came with 4 Lenses, a Schneider Super Angulon f8/65mm Syncro Compur (Mounted), Schneider Xenar (Mounted) f4.7/135mm Syncro Compur, Kodak Ektar f7.7/203mm Prontor SVS, and a Victorian Brass Lens as well. Since I'm mostly interested in landscape and architectural I'm hoping that the 65mm lens will be a good one to start with. Have also bought a few other much older LF wood cameras from the UK that are more 'project' types as I enjoy working with wood and want to try my hand at restoration of them. Hope to be showing them here someday as well if I don't screw them up too badly. Will probably be asking some dumb questions here along the way as well
In the meantime this beauty should be good to go!
