{"overview":"The Devin Colorgraphco Tri-Color Camera is a specialist tri-colour separation camera, a type used to capture three colour-filtered negatives in a single exposure for early colour photographic processes. Today this remains a thinly traded item, so any sense of what one sells for is drawn from a very small sample and condition of the bellows, filters and back can move the price meaningfully.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for light leaks and pinholes, check that the internal mirrors or beam-splitting optics are clean and unsilvered, and confirm the colour-separation filters are present and not fogged.
