This camera model could be used with a glass plate film adapter; but it can not be modernized with a digital back.
The camera is in excellent condition cosmetically as I'm hard pressed to find even a slight scratch. The case shows very little wear but there are some scratches, surface crazing and minor scuffs. The original leather strap is intact but has some cracks.
This set had been in my father's collection for many years. I don't know when it was last operated and cannot vouch for functionality. All adjustment controls move smoothly and the shutter does trigger.
Will ship by USPS Priority with tracking and insurance.
