My name is George.
My name is George.
“Just what I always wanted! My own little bunny rabbit ‘studio camera’. I will name him George and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him…”
Muah, ha, ha, ha, ha,… I finally got my dream camera! An Ansco 8×10 Studio camera.
It’s an amazing piece of 1940′s furniture. The stand is rock solid and the camera has THREE standards and TWO bellows! I love the rise and tilt gears; the bellows extend beyond anything I can put on this. The lens board is a whopping 9 inches of real estate and will take on any known studio lens. I mounted my Ross No. 3 and it didn’t even flinch.
The seller mentioned Walt Disney used to own it but has no documentation to prove it. However, the stand and camera has a matching serial number – if I have time I’ll look into it’s provenance.
I can’t wait to use George!
