Thanks Gordon for the info. I am still mesmerized by this unique design. Circular plates would have been fun! Kind of the ones you find in magic lantern with multiple poses, because I assume the back of the camera rotates or is it the whole assembly?
Probably the whole thing as you can only twist the bellows slightly....
One last question it seems to be at least a 1/2 plate considering the size of the N&G patent shutter, or is it larger?
Best, Charles
Thanks Gordon,
I am trying to write an article on the history of the shutters and it is in the process of gathering more information on the Newman Patent that I discovered a picture of your incredible camera. Are you still owning it? How deep is it when folded? Seems that it takes standard plate holders.
Yes I took my little pic with a few of my Lancaster cameras and shutters.
I am hoping one day to have a small museum of these little gems, with a case full of nice shutters!
