Hello
I'm a total newby to analog and LF photography. I now got an old camer with a lot of equipment. But now I have many questions about type, equipent, functions etc.
1. It's a ICA camera. But what's the cameratype? I guess it some version of a Tropica, but I couldn't find a picture of a similar one...
What cameratype is it exactly?
2. There are two lenses - both from E. Suter Basel. The first on is an Anastigmat SerieI1 F6.8 No1 F135mm
What type of lens is it? Can I find somewhere more Information about it?
3. The second Lens is a (I guess) Aplanat (it has two lenses in th front and in the back - always gued together. But somebody has put some kind of adapter to it, hiding most information... the only thing beside "E. Suter Basel" I can read is "Engel". Sadly there is no supportingplate to mount this lens - the diameter of the secont plate doesent fit.
Does anybody know what type of lens it is?
4. There is no shutter... does the camera work without shutter (how) or do I need a shutter? And If I do need a shutter could you tell me which shutter was used during this period (best would be name, type and picture)...
5. Could anybody of you explain me how this camera works, how to operate it? A link would be fine too... and for shure I'll read and search the forum... but I guess there is a restriction with the search, I dont get any results searching for "ICA".
6. And if there is somebody out there from near Bern, Switzerland I really would appreciate meeting him / her and learn / exchang in person :-)
Thanks for your help and patiance!
Chrigu
