Looks like a Japanese 1/2 plate camera. Could be English though. Early 20th century. Nice little camera, regardless.
Dear Claus,Okay thanks guys
I paid 173 Euro´s for it - would be approx 235 USD
Is this okay ?
And does anyone have any information on the camera itself ?
Claus
Dear David,"Bookform" slides may be "non-standard" today but were standard 100 years ago in England. You do therefore have some chance of finding some more, but you should try before you buy to make sure they fit.
Dear David,
Except of course that they were not standardized in terms of register or indeed size, so they were a standard type but in no sense a standard holder. Even single metal dark-slides, popular from about 1910-1940, exist in a wide range of sizes and registers.
Cheers,
Roger
They may be available on your side of the pond. Here in the Americas they are very hard to find... I have my original 1/2 plate back but have not found any!
