Re: They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
Well
just in case you blokes are still interested, here is a quick snap of the view camera - (taken with the LC1, 90mm, f2.4) - which shows you the main features. As I said, there is no maker's name on the camera, but the lens serial number dates it to between 1925 and 1927, according to the Schneider website. It has a simple Vero shutter, rising and cross front, a wire-frame sports finder (!) and a simple optical finder too. I don't use those myself, just the ground-glass back. The main body is wood, covered with some sort of leatherette material, everything else seems to be brass, either nickel-plated or black enamelled. The lens is a peach, even though it has no coating. Does anyone know what the camera is?
