Old camera

This kind of camera is a large-format camera, also called a technical camera. It is more troublesome to operate and the film used is very large. Of course, the appearance is definitely better. It looks very old, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad for taking photos. Many professional photographers use this kind of camera.

It’s really hard to say which era this camera is from, because this kind of camera is more versatile, so even many people who are good at machine tools and woodworking can DIY one by themselves, and there are many in China. The photographer can make it for fun.

The well-known large-format cameras in the world include Linhoff, Senna, Knight, etc., and the domestic ones include Guo, etc.
