Agfa Ansco C-1 8x10 - mostly
The latest addition to my collection of cameras.
It arrived as a collection of parts in a box - with small parts bagged and labeled. Everything except the wood for the folding base was included. And the bellows was new and glued to the original frames, but not mounted. I made a non-folding base using a piece of 3/4 inch scrap plywood. Everything went together reasonably easy for an 80 year old wooden camera. I do have lenses that will cover 8x10, but I am not going to pull them from their boards for this. Adapters are in the works. I'm also considering a dedicated lens for it. I'm guessing a Goerz barrel lens mounted in the hole seen here, but I'm not going to make purchases for fit checks.
