Can any of you help identify the maker or any information about the below camera. I bought it at an estate sale and it does not have a name plate. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you for your replies! Do you think this camera is a valuable camera?

We do not do estimates of valuation.

Koronas are neither rare nor unusual. They are decent "users" in good condition. The woodwork is very nice, the hardware can become loose, worn and a little rickety. Look at "sold" listings on the well-known large auction site for price information.

I sold my 4x5 Korona a few years ago. Wish I had it back. The only drawback I found was bellows draw. I could notuse my 90mm lenses on it, only those in normal and tele ranges.

I have a couple of Koronas--4x5 and 5x7. I love shooting with them; nice and solid and well designed.

I have two Koronas - a 5x12" and a 7x17". Wonderful old cameras.
