This
is a 90mm pinhole camera in 6 x 9 format. It accepts 120 roll film.
This
camera is made of laminated wood timber (1/8" thickness) and wooden
strips (walnut) from the model kit of a wooden ship.
All
wooden parts are glued together. The tripod mount is a "quick release"
style which is simply made of ametal plate, nuts and difference sized
washers.

The
film advance knob is also made of a wooden strip.
At the
back of the camera, there is a film counter window. Which is opened
and closed by sliding.

From
the above middle photo you can see the quick release tripod adaptor
is removed from the camera.
The
film holder is the original metal part of the vintage box type camera
(Agfa?) which I bought several years ago during a business trip to Chicago,
USA. Now we can buy this camera easily at e-Bay. The front panel of
the camera can slides to open for loading film.

This
camera is one of the "proto-type" cameras which I made during
the very early design stages of the Zero 2000 medium format camera.
