Plaubel Stereo Makina

{"overview":"The Plaubel Stereo Makina is a German-made stereo camera produced by Plaubel of Frankfurt, part of the wider Makina line of folding cameras. Condition, completeness of the matched lens pair and shutter function, and the presence of original accessories drive most of the spread seen today. Examples that sell for figures toward the upper end are typically clean, fully working bodies with undamaged bellows, while tired or incomplete cameras are worth closer to the lower end of that band.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows carefully for pinholes, as leather-and-cloth bellows on folding Plaubels of this vintage are a common failure point. Check that both shutters fire on all marked speeds and that the paired lenses are clean, free of fungus and balanced in appearance, since mismatched optics reduce the value of a stereo outfit.
