I was given what looks like a partial vintage Zeiss scientific camera, 8x10, with a Zeiss Jena 165mm lens.
It is partial: bellows+front standard+incomplete back, lens, no lensboard, rail/bed, or film holder/GG.
It took me a long time to discover what it was, by finding a matching picture:
234991
234992
(My lens is more modern than shown above)
A few things:
How were these operated?
Is it reasonable to think a graphic back could be grafted on it?
