Hey guys, thanks so much!

That this thing is a lens mount is amazing... I thought it’s a universal Aperture of sorts!

9x12cm seems correct... the visible portion of the glass measures 8,4x11,5cm. So for the lens, if I google “4x5 full format lens” that should fit, right?

Sadly, there are no plate-holders left.

Howdy Folks,

I made made this account specifically for this question I have here... I discovered this full format camera that my great-grandfather had custom made for his work as a photographer back then. I’m hoping that someone here is familiar with some of the parts... for all I know I just need a film holder and a new lens mount, no? Can I just buy a new plate with a different lens mount? Or are there lenses for the existing one? Any Input is highly appreciated! I hope my noobery doesn’t upset you — rest assured that I did a bit of research before asking you.

Thanks

Robin
