Old and unusual large format camera designes

[noofzz]

Hello!


I want to build my "perfect camera" , so I am very interested in unusual and old camera, plateholder, threepod designes (especially large format / plate).

Could you please recommend any resource or book?

My favorite resource has been . . . http://piercevaubel.com/cam/ao.htm

The menu on the left side of the webpages will take you to many manufacturers. Enjoy!

There's a book by I think by Paul Hasluck on Camera Building, from around 1904 it's still a very useful publication, it's available free on the Internet Archive and also as a reprint (of the same copy).
