Hello,
I got for a bargain price a heavy 5x7 studio camera. Now I never used large format camera's before, so everything is very new to me.
It has a bellow-shutter inside. Besides the filmholders it has also a wide sleeve on the top what you can take out (a shiny slider)
What's the purpose of this slider?
It also looks like someone did put tape over it (to prevent light-leaks?)
