What it is
{"overview":"The Premo Sr is an early plate camera produced by the Rochester Camera Manufacturing Company, a US maker active in the late 19th century before its absorption into the firm that became Eastman Kodak. With only one data point, the price a Premo Sr is worth today depends heavily on completeness, the presence of original plate holders, and the condition of the bellows and shutter.","buying_guide":"On any camera of this age the bellows are the first inspection point — pinholes and corner splits are common and expensive to remedy.
