Post a picture of one of your favorite buys

Not really a buy, but a gift or a hand me down. This camera has been in my family since 1907. So since it was new and it mine now.

I made new bellows for it and have taken about 2 dozen photographs with this camera.

It uses glass plate negative for film. So you buy the the chemicals, mix them and then apply to the very clean sheet of glass. Which is now your film

Best internet example I can find to show you of glass plate negative


The camera is a was made in 1907 for the Kodak Company by the Rochester Optical Camera Company. It holds up to 11" X 14" glass plate

And yes its one of them cameras that you put a sheet over your head to take a photograph

Here is what it what it should look like with the original lens
