Unknown camera

[Doug Hittle]

I have an old strange view camera, would like to post pics to see if anyone can identify it for me. I have reviewed most oldies on web site and auctions so this is a real quest. Thanks for you help.

[Brian Ellis]

Are you asking how to go about posting the pictures?

[James Driscoll]

Have you tried this site......http://www.fiberq.com/cam/.....very detailed about 1880-1930 american wood cameras....

unless yours is not made in the USA....but it is a fun site to look at anyway.

Thanks for the interesting link... I didn't find my own mystery 4x5 camera, but I found outthat it was a very close cousin to some Koronas. Cool.

Very close cousins to the Korona were almost a generic type for quite a few years.

Construction and hardware are very similar to Koronas and there are plenty of movements including front raise/tilt/swing and a long (45 cm or so) focusing rail. Frong focusing is lacking, however. It works very well and I'm quite satisfied, given the fact that I paid it 152 dollars on a certain auction site, including an old 135 mm lens included and a 2x3 reducing back. But there is no brand name on it.
