ANTIQUE UNBRANDED TROPICAL TROPEN 9X12CM GLASS PLATE CAMERA RECTILIGNE F8 LENS
Shutter works perfectly and speeds are accurate, B & T settings work. Brand of the shutter is ’Newest’. Finder is in good condition, a bit dull view. Lens unit gets on the rail smoothly. Clearly the lens is loose from the stand and I don’t have screws that fit. Lens might not be original to the camera.
Original red leather bellows is light leak free. Movements work smooth. Focus moves smooth. Comes with viewing hood and ground glass, fits nicely, but doesn’t feel to be original to the camera. Handle is in good condition.
The camera shows moderate signs of prior use and is overall in good condition. Shows some scuffs, some scratches, shows dings to the wood, no cracks.
The lens elements are in very good condition. No cleaning marks, no scratches, no haze, no fungus, no separation. Shows no dust particles inside. Aperture blades show some wear and are clean. Aperture open and close perfectly and very smooth.
