i would like to see the camera that goes with this!

Its kind of hard to imagine a camera that this bellows belongs to.

Maybe our buddy with the ultra high resolution camera should pick this up for his next project!

model in one room. Film next door.

Process camera most likely. We had one in our high school print shop, and it was in fact built into a room, so you would enter one room to set up the item to be copied, and then go into a darkroom where the back was to focus and load the vacuum back and make the exposure.

Are these bellows for black and white film only? Because that's what they look like to me. ;-)

The aliens have invaded and they look like big black slugs and they are shaped like bellows!!!! You can see in that photo, there is a big black one lying dead on the street there!! Raise the terror alert level!

I agree with Goldfarb that it is from a process camera.

you think that's big..oughta check out the "largest camera on the East coast" ...saw some pictures of this beast earlier this month-- used a 47.5 inch goerz apo-artar and shot to 40x60. apparently it was & still is one of the largest process cameras ever built. had to be dropped in place with a crane and the building was put up around it.

Maybe a light "sagging" problem. The shutter release is easy : shut the door !

[Calamity Jane]

How about that! Ya could LIVE in it between shoots. . . .
