This is another cool Box camera to look at. Not very practical to use today. It uses 616 size film -- which is basically unavailable these todays. You CAN buy adapters to go on the ends of 120 film to make it wide enough for use, but honestly, it's just not worth it. This is a cool camera to sit on a shelf and look at, or maybe use it as a prop in a play or musical. It features a F11 and F16 f-stop setting as well as a bulb setting. If it was your grandfather's and it has some family value -- keep it. Otherwise, you can give it away. They sold originally for around $5 between 1946-1951. It's come full circle, they are worth about $5 today. Guess it held it's value -- minus inflation and stuff.
Happy shooting everyone.
