My new Half plate camera, still to be identified
Just needs a little restoration, the screens been re0ground already (since the photos)
Just needs a new back, and some lens boards. I have a nice 8"x5" (that's how it's marked) Ross lens (approx 12"/300mm FL) for the camera plus a choice now of 7 TP shutters.

A couple more images. A nice Xmas project.

That DOES look nice, I must admit! I think this is a Houghton Duchess!
Thanks, I've not really had time to trawl through my old BJP Almanacs yet, but that may be the exact model. Thornton Pickard also sold cameras made by others, there were close links because they supplied shutters.
However the front brass work is more unusual so it'll most likely be Houghton manufactured regardless.

Hi Ian
That looks like it's in great condition, and it's always nice to see a classic British camera.
Working on a project with my Wista 45vx and 110XL. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.
And here is mine!
