I uploaded these pictures about year ago but they were scanned with an office scanner, so I've rescanned them.

I want to love this beautiful camera, it's a work of art in itself, with it's heavy art deco body and simplistic lens. It shoots large 6x7, and is completely manual (obviously) but it doesn't have a wide acope of adjust ment.

Turns out that I have a hole in the Bellows. That's what caused the ghostly light burns. Theres two focus settings, 5m and 5m-Infinity, but it never seems to be very focused whichever setting I choose! I suspect It was a lot better when it was new, but it's done well for a budget camera made in 1933.

I plan to restore it at some point because it's so fun to use.
