Today is a good day. So last night one of my family members calls and asks me a strange question about lenses (they know nothing about photography) Sadly I could not answer their question about the lens makers. I could tell they were sad on account of that.
I wake up this morning to an email titled "Early Birthday gift"
I open it up and find these pictures!!!! What a way to make me better after my surgery on monday!
So it seems to be a 2A, but I cant see the little circle on the front. But it does have the cabinet door ground glass and 3 backs two big lenses. A lot of plate holders some that snap into the back and some plate holders for spring backs as well.
See for me I am super excited, yet for my wife... not so much. We already have three studio cameras and this makes a fourth. Let alone all the other gear that comes with collodion.
So this may not be sticking around in my collection. Its honestly amazing. I have never seen one of these century cameras with the original plate back.
