Similar, but that's not quite it. The one my buddy found has a film format
with which I'm not familiar -- it appears to be 3.25 x 5.5", which borders
on "large format", although it's rollfilm. If I measure the spool, the
metal rims (the body is wood) are 3.75" apart. Anyone know what this
format is called?
The shutter confuses me; on the body it says Ilex, but the shutter dial
says Acme.
It looks to be in decent shape, with no aparent bellows leaks, and even has
a sturdy thick-leather carrying case. It'd be fun if we could find film
for it...
Cheers,
