. (note. This series was only made from 1928-1930. The thing on the top right is the viewer that you look down into and the image is right side up.). This is a real camera with leather covering in very good condition for a camera that is nearly 85 years old. The film is a popular medium format 120 so I may have to give it a trial.

    Well, I was showing off the ond camera to a German visitor and the shutter stuck. I noticed it had discoloration on the shutter blades. Maybe one day to a repair shop, but no photos this year.
