India 5x7, there are some of these on ebay right not. 10x12,6x15 and I think a 5x7 go check them out. It is a plate camera.
I dont know what you mean, a plate camera. It has film holders for 5 & 7 sheet film.:cool:

Sorry then, my understanding was that it was a dry plate camera and you had to use film sheaths in the holders to let them use regular film. I have looked at them on multiple occasions for ULF and converting to a wetplate camera. They do come up from time to time and there may be some users of these camera here that just have not replied yet.

Are the holders book form or regular filmholders? Book type holders are for metal or glass dry plates unless there is an insert for the film.
They take regular sheets of film but there custom made to the camera so they dont except typ fiml holders.
I guess I dont know what im talking about. The film holders do open up like a book and they have sheet filme holders. Da. Its still a great looking camera. I've also made a custom 4 X 5 back that does take reg film holders.
