not exactly the same as the militay version. The camera is
much more robust than I expected and beefier than the one shown ---looks like its had maybe 10 sheets of film through it as the back is original , unrestored and like new--literally!! Yea, it wasn't cheap but then an 11x14 usually isn't----throw the Deardorff name on it and well, you know!! Thanks Santa--psst!! just don't tell my wife!!
hmmm! takes standard 6x6 lens boards too!! More rigid than I expected for a vintage camera---go ahead and make my head swell !! Go ahead!!
