Crown-Graphic - 4X5 Camera

These are fantastic cameras, I used one to take most of the 1,000 or so pictures in my two-volume set of Books, GUNMAKERS OF ILLINOIS, 1683-1900. That 4" X 5" negative allows for huge enlargements, with no loss of detail. The down side? Very expensive to feed, And difficult to find anyone to process the film, even twenty years ago.
