My WOODFIELD CANHAM 4x5 that I recently purchased from the classifieds here......what a great camera. Interesting question I was asked when I was out shooting yesterday by a young kid "hey is that a clown camera" I assured him it was.

1884 Plate camera that I am working on rehabbing into a working wet-plate camera!

Hopefully I'll start shooting with it next month or so...

Well above the usual quality for the period. A very nice set.
Can't read the label, but it looks a lot like the camera which was sold under the Dallmeyer label.

It's actually a W Watson & Sons 12x18 plate camera. It is in amazing condition. I've been working with a few people who specialize in this era and we have narrowed down the production date (from serial numbers and other specifics) to most likely 1883 or 1884.

It has been a 5 month process of slowly cleaning, and getting everything required to make and shoot plates of this large size. But hopefully it will be fully operational soon

You mean 15x12" perhaps?

With that big ol' lens and nothing to provide scale it looks like a 4x5!

It is, I think, the Premium model made by Watson from around 1883. It was made in 15x12" and the more unusual 18x16".
Here is a link to a catalogue drawing and basic data. These illustrations are often very simpilified and misleading about details - but it matches the best of their many cameras.

Watson were still offerinr 18"x16" Premier cameras in 1898. First time I've noticed the format.

Except it says 8x10 View on the nameplate and it has an reducing board which pretty much excludes the V5. Lovely camera. L
