[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 582514, member: 56"]It looks to me like a "view camera", a camera used for large format photos. The camera would be aimed and focused using a ground glass plate (the image would appear upside down), then the ground glass would be replaced by a photo plate (a specially packaged negative) and the picture taken. A big issue with any bellows camera is the integrity of the bellows. Are there any cracks or pinholes to cause light leaks? You don't give size, but at a guess this would be for 4x5 negatives.[/QUOTE]
