    can anyone age this cam?

    i'm new to LF and just got interested when i found a view camera in my
    brother's attic. the label says Francois Dubessay, Paris, France. can anyone age this cam?

    http://randystories.multiply.com/pho...Format_Camera#

    i think its a tailback and its dimensions are 14" x 12"; the back could move up to 17". it does not have a film back though, there is a ground glass. the lens is a "modern" xenar 300/4.5

    also can anyone give me a suggestion on how to make this camera work with 4"x5" films? what
    film back would you suggest?
