What it is

{"overview":"The Plaubel Baby Makina is a compact folding plate camera produced by the German maker Plaubel of Frankfurt. Clean, working bodies sit toward the upper end of that range, while examples with shutter or bellows faults sell for less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows carefully for pinholes, check that the shutter fires at all marked speeds, and look for haze, separation or fungus in the lens. Struts and the folding bed should lock firmly without play, and the ground glass or viewfinder optics should be intact.
