My friend got it from his university lab. It has a label Leitz and Linhof. Can anyone tell me what kind of camera it is? What kind of lensboard it takes?
Thanks

Microscope/copy camera.

I can't see it being anything else. Looks like the MPP cameras used for repro work but were later turned horizontal for 'real' use.

yes, with a bit of modifying.

unless you want photo's of the floor, you need to make a front standard, and adapt the front lens/board to it. OR buy new longer bellows and attach them to a modern front standard (sinar/calumet/etc) then attach THAT to the camera. It might be better in the long run to do it that way round.
