This is the pride of my collection. The camera my dad used while a professional portrait photographer. I remember him taking the negatives from this camera and sitting for hours with special pencils and a light box, gently retouching the negatives tp perfection. A special pencil for each effect. This camera has a 5 x 7 back and uses film packs that held two sheets, one on each side of the pack. I remember him showing me how to tell which way they fit into the holder by the notches on the film. I bet no one her remembers that. I still have some of those negatives from so many years ago. By the way, the picture of me posted earlier on, came from this camera. (October 2011)
