i'm new to LF and just got interested when i found a view camera in my
brother's attic. the label says Francois Dubessay, Paris, France. can anyone age this cam?

i think its a tailback and its dimensions are 14" x 12"; the back could move up to 17". it does not have a film back though, there is a ground glass. the lens is a "modern" xenar 300/4.5
also can anyone give me a suggestion on how to make this camera work with 4"x5" films? what
film back would you suggest?
