Loomis Camera in Elyria OH is going out of business this month, pretty sad. I went to look around but really had to dig to find anything of interest to me.
Here are a few things I got that I need some help with understanding.
-a 8x10 ground glass screen and wood frame. Any idea what camera this would go to?
-a 4x5 back w/ ground glass, attached to a bellows and a lensboard holder thing. I assume this is some sort of copy enlarger, any idea?
-a wood double darkslide that says in each side "this holder made to fit 4x5 PREMO cameras" does this take wet plates? would it be possible to use it with my 80's Nagaoka 4x5? It fits, it's just really awkward to take out the darkslides.
-some sort of magic lantern lens. there are marks along the aperture slot that read 256, 128, 64, 32, 15 (or 16), (8 or 9), and 4. the markings read "bausch & lomb optical co" and "rapid rectilinear"
Any idea about the history of any of these?
