I have acquired a new (to me) Improved Seneca View 6.5x8.5 camera in fantastic condition, with the only exception being the lens shutter.
This camera has the original Wollensak 6.5x8.5 f/4 lens that this camera was sold with, but the shutter doesn't close. From a bit of testing, it would seem that this is an issue with springs (or other internal component) and not the shutter itself. When only slightly triggered, the shutter closes.
I'd love to keep the lens and body together and functional, but I don't know where I could get it serviced and whether or not it would be worth the expense. A quick search of Ebay did *not* produce any promising leads.
Side note - does anyone know if this camera needs a specific type of film holder? Another post about this camera mentioned Kodak holders, but I didnt get much else from it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
