Seeing how nice some of your camera restoration projects have turned out -- especially William's 12x20 the other day -- I am wondering which of the early 1900s 8x10s made in Rochester (Korona, Folmer, Ansco (close enough!)) wooden field cameras are the best candidates for successful restoration?
In terms of getting a nice "user" out of the process, especially one that is tight and solid and not "a bundle of sticks" so to speak. Speaking about making restorations and even improvements -- not collector's items.
Somebody had a beautiful chrome and dark wood wide angle model pictured here a couple of weeks ago but I can't find it... but that was so nice. But more of a normal all-arounder that isn't a beast would be my choice. Maybe even a hot-rodded version with a fresnel and other enhancements?
