up graded and restored unnamed antique quarter plate camera for 2023

[andrew_spence1]

this cost me about £40 to buy off uk e bay it was basically just a wooden box , i bought it just 

to restore and up grade. and of course to use eventually

It can now take  lenses from my collection of lenses i use on all my view cameras and now has a 6x9 roll film back

but i can use a 6x11 cm back i made a few years ago that fits the adapter that the 6x9 cm back uses i just need to rember to use a lens that covers 6x11 cm

I just leave the film back in the adapter and just slide the whole thing out and the new perspex  focusing screen just hinges up into its original place

i bought the front standard from a seller in europe and modified it to fit it has good rise and fall ans slides sideways too and fits inside the camera when closed up

i already had the bellows

i hope you like it and ill use it soon

regards Andrew
