Help Identifying an 8x10 camera

Postby KevinWilburnPhoto » Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:52 pm

Hi there,

I was looking to get some help identifying an 8x10 camera. The front of the camera is cast iron and is inscribed with the words/name "MJ WOLF PARIS." A small plate on the camera's left side says, "GRAFISCH TECHNISCH BUREAU H. SCHENKKAN AMSTERDAM." This roughly translates to "GRAPHIC TECHNICAL BUREAU H. SCHENKKAN AMSTERDAM." The lens is a somewhat common Krauss Paris 32cm/9. I know it's extremely rough cosmetically, but I'm more curious about its backstory than anything. I bought this camera when I was 15; any information would mean a lot.

Thanks
Kevin
