I have a Petzval that I can use with it, it's for a forthcoming project making Direct positive prints.

Nice! How much do those go for? I see quite a few every now and then. Do you need to modify the back in order to fit regular holders?
I bought this one unseen, I'd placed an order for a 13x18cm German Reisekamera that needed a focus panel and some brass fittings but was cheap.£79 inc postage (94 euros/$127). It had been sold but left online but this one looked similar folded up so there was confusion between the two partners in the company :D They offered me this one instead at the same price and said I could send it back if not happy. They normally sell for considerably more.Quote:

I will give the camera a good clean and re-french polish it.
I may well make a 10x8 back as I have two 10x8 cameras and plenty of DDS (film holders) but I'll also get some 18x24 holders.I'm not sure yet what type it takes. I'll also make some new lens boards.
