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.

How does one mount that on a tripod?

How does one mount that on a tripod?

It should have a brass ring on the bottom that tripod legs attach to, however at some point that was removed and a plate, I'd guess wooden, screwed over the base presumably with a modern tripod mount. That was not with the camera when I bought it.

So at the moment I'm not sure how I'll mount it

My # 1 & favorite camera... '40s Deardorff w/ reducing back for the long shot near Ghost Ranch

[DanK]

Try not to laugh...

I'm actually most comfortable with this....and use it the most....an older Toyo D45M w/ double bellows and extension...

Has 12" Dagor in (crappy) optimo, but looks even more interesting with a No. 4 Vitax...

It's kind of a crappy shot and the filter holder was a little crooked, but oh well. It's a pretty camera none the less and it's my favorite user.

This thing is hot. I wish I had a Crown. I got rid of the shutter on my Speed anyway and then just had more holes to plug.

Cheers, I was going to get a speed but got this off ebay.com for £100 then imported it
