Gandolfi Hand and Stand Camera

The Gandolfi Hand and Stand Camera is a British-made wood and brass plate camera, a format that places it among traditional large-format field cameras intended for both handheld use and tripod work.

On any wood and brass plate camera of this type, inspect the bellows for light leaks at the corners, check the wooden body for cracks or loose joints, and confirm that the brass fittings, focusing rack and ground glass are intact. Plate holders and lens boards specific to Gandolfi cameras can be difficult to source, so completeness of accessories materially affects price.
