Kern Bijou

{"overview":"The Kern Bijou is a Swiss-made plate camera produced by Kern, a manufacturer better known for its optics. Because these are saleroom hammer results rather than retail prices, the value achieved depends heavily on condition, completeness of the original case and plate holders, and the state of the fitted Kern lens and shutter.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for sluggish slow speeds and check the bellows carefully for pinholes, as replacements for a camera of this scale are difficult to source.
