Sorry to bother with trivia, but while wandering about town today, I came across a Seneca Improved with seneca doublet "dustless" lens. It appears to be a 5x7, and the lacquer is in excellent condition, with the metal-work looking somewhat duller, but not rusted or pitted. Bellows are present, and sagging a bit, though the leather looks otherwise good.
So... Does this camera take modern 5x7 film, or is it expecting plate holders, and what's a reasonable price for one? It's rather attractive (at least compared with a B&J from the 50s), but I can't bring myself to buy something that I wouldn't shoot with, even if I had to use it under more controlled conditions. Thanks for any info.
