Vintage 11x14 Century 8A Studio View Camera: This early 20th century antique Century 8A 11x14 studio view camera was and is adaptable to a wide range of studio and commercial work. All operations are simple, and direct controls are placed within convenient reach of the photographer. The 8A has ample vertical and horizontal swings. This 11x14 view camera has double extension bellows with a draw of 43". The film black that comes with this large camera is the 8A sliding carriage, with a 5x7 ground glass spring back to accept glass plate or cut film 5x7 holders. But if you're only into digital, this classic is a work of art in itself. It can be very impressive as a display in your studio, office, or home. This lot requires third party shipping. If you win this this item and your intention is to have it professionally restored, one of the country's finest large camera restorers happens to live only about 80 miles away. If you choose to have him do this work, please let the auction house know, and they will put you in touch with the restorer, Tom Lazaroff, and Tim Ryan the original owner.
