Description
Here is a rare Folmer & Schwing ultra large format 12x20 banquet camera. It is in great shape showing some wear from use. The front standard moves easily on its track. The bellows do have light leaks when I checked them with a flashlight but they probably could be repaired. They do extend the full length of the track. The ground glass back is intact. It comes with an original Folmer & Schwing Banquet camera plate holder. The dark slides pull out fine and the plate holder looks to be in very nice shape. On one of the dark slides a little of the wood on one side of the dark slide grip is missing. Please note that the holder was made to be used with plates and not film. One could adapt for film use by some form of insert to hold the film in place. The movements on the camera all work and tighten fine. It is missing the strap on the top. It looks like after some work on the bellows it would be a good usable camera. I have read that photographers have been using these cameras for wetplate work. Check out my other auctions for many other large format cameras and large old brass lenses. I can combine shipping on multiple purchases. Buyer pays shipping and the shipping quote includes insurance.Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
