A Rebuild of A Burke & James “Watson” - 5"X7"
View Camera
James R. Kyle - 12-2018
I found a Burke and James “Watson” - Five by Seven inch - Field View camera at a local antique mall, after a friend told me about it, for fifty dollars. After looking it over, I made the quick decision to buy it, remove the paint, and rebuild to restore to a working condition. Already having a lens with a pneumatic operated shutter (Incase this lens, shown, will not work). I knew that it would not only be workable, but also practical for the design. (Thus = This became one of my “Winter Project” for 2018 - 2019.)
