This is the last camera we have finished just before I had to interrupt. It was build for Stefan Dieterich, a Berlin based photographer. It is 15x15" with maximum of 1300mm bellows extension with large platform tripod and sensitizing silver nitrate box . It is made out of cherry, weights 13kg without the extension and the auxiliary standard. The tripods is made out of ash and weights 10.5kg. It was build especially to be used with the Dallmeyer 5A. It has rise and fall and left/right shift in front and tilt in the back. You can see many more photos of the camera and the accessories here.
"They built a fantastic camera that works perfectly. I have made the first wet plates and everything turned out great. The camera is very solidly built specially the front standard that holds a 6kg lens. All movements are smooth and everything is at the right place. The ground glass is bright and the plate holder fits very well. On top of that the camera looks very nice. Best wishes from Berlin. Stefan Dieterich"
