What it is

{"overview":"The Deardorff 8x10 is a large-format wooden field view camera taking 8x10 inch sheet film. Condition, completeness of bellows, and whether lensboards or a lens are included drive what these cameras are worth, and clean working bodies typically command a premium over project pieces at auction.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows carefully for pinholes and corner wear, as replacement is the most common service expense. Check that the wood is free of cracks, that the front and rear standards lock firmly on the bed, and that all movements (rise, shift, swing, tilt) operate smoothly.
