Hello whole plate camera
I acquired an Improved Empire State Camera by Rochester Optical with a 5″ Dagor from Dan yesterday and what beauty – many thanks Dan.
My Korona has been out of commission (perhaps de-commissioned) after a fall from JT and as luck would have it, Dan provided me with a replacement for field wet plate. Poured a plate today, slipped a 5×7 holder and set up my favorite succulent; here’s what it gave me.

That little Dagor Lens looks pretty nice.

It sure is. Shutter seems to be fine also.
