What it is

{"overview":"The Laack Sport (tropen) is an early 20th-century folding camera produced in a tropical specification, with the brass-finished bodywork typical of cameras built for use in hot and humid climates. With just one sale on file, the price a clean example sells for can vary significantly with condition, completeness of the original leather and bellows, and the strength of bidding on the day.","buying_guide":"Tropical folding cameras of this era are most commonly compromised by pinholed or stiff bellows, tarnished brasswork, and shutter blades that have become sluggish from old lubricants — inspect each carefully before bidding.
