[LargeFormat] Empire State Camera

[Chris Fraser]

I'm looking for some information on restoring an old Empire State 6.5 x 8.5 
view camera.  I need to build film holders (Since I can't seem to be able to 
buy any), get the lens reconditioned and either recondition the bellows or 
have it replaced.  The bellows still extends, but it is very dry



The camera appears to be an Empire State Variation 3, however the lens looks 
like it is off a Variation 2.



I have put some snap shots of the camera up at:

Any information would be greatly appreciated.



Regards,



Chris
