Ross Studio camera

{"overview":"The Ross Studio camera is a large-format wooden studio camera from the British optical maker Ross of London, a type used by professional portrait studios from the late 19th into the early 20th century. With only one verified saleroom datapoint, today's value should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable market range, and condition, completeness of the lens and stand, and provenance will heavily influence what any individual example sells for.","buying_guide":"Inspect the woodwork for shrinkage, splits and loose joints, check the bellows for pinhole light leaks at the corners, and confirm that the rack-and-pinion focusing and rising front still move smoothly. Originality matters: a matching Ross lens, plate holders and the correct studio stand add significantly to value, while replaced or missing components reduce it.
