was an amateur collector.
I try to find out something about one camera, but i can not find anythinh
about it.
So maybe You can help me about it.

I am sorry for my bad english.

Thank You , and if You can help me , please answer me .

It is the predecessor of the Goerz Dagor. I have a few of varying focal lengths and love them.

Moved to lenses forum.

Actually the Dagor and the doppel anastigmat Ser. III are the same thing. New name, Dagor; original name, doppel anastigmat Ser. III.

I think this is a French chambre de visite camera from around 1895-1920. It has the "turn the bellows" change for vertical/horizontal. Looks like walnut. Some reason the "sellers badge" has been unscrewed at some time in the past when it was not PC in its country of use!

We don't give valuations here. But the camera, without the appropriate plate holders, has little value.

Hello Vladimir,

what's written on the lens doesn't tell you anything about the camera. Lenses were widely interchangeable, and the (obviously not original) lens board implies that this is probably not the lens that came with the camera. As others have indicated, this Goerz lens is well regarded (but not rare). The design was patented in 1892 and sold under the name "Dagor" after 1904, so this gives you an approximate age for the lens. Cameras of this kind were made by a number of makers over a long period of time in several countries. Maybe somebody recognizes the model or maker... One important fact would be the negative size. You can simply measure the ground glass.
