Ok, I bought this last minute hoping it was an 8x10 but it was an 5x7 so that is why I am selling. The lens is a a beauty, mounted on an self cocking Wollensak shutter. It is a Bausch and Lomb 1c Tessar E.F. 210mm F/4.5 which is pretty fast for a lens this size. The speeds sound good on the upper levels and a bit slow on the lowest settings. Bulb and Time work perfectly. The glass is really clean and I see no scratches, fungus or mold. The camera is in good condition with some scratches here and there, handle is in tact. I don't know much about this model, but it racked out and in nicely and stayed put. There is quite a bit of bellows extension on it as well. There is an 5x7 back and a 4x5 back for the camera. The 5x7 does not appear to be original to the body, but it does fit. It has rear swings and tilts, front rise & fall, and it slides right and left. Also included is an hard shell carrying case in very good shape. I am selling "AS IS" and it is described to the best of my ability. If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them for you. If you need more pics I can send them to you as well. How about 350.00 plus shipping for the lot. Paypal preferred or an USPS Money Order will work. Email or PM me if interested please, do not leave a message on the post as I probably won't see it. Thanks, Mike.

Actually, that's exactly what the 5x7 back on my Korona looks like. And, what my 4x5 back looks like too. Yours is probably older than mine judging by the design of the bellows.

From cameraeccentric, it's in the Gundlach Korona 1910/1920 catalog as a "Pictorial View". The telescoping rear bed makes it unique.

Thanks Dan, I did notice the telescoping bed and thought it just might be different and now you confirmed it (thanks!). Be well, Mike.
