What it is

The Ross Wide Angle Camera is a specialist British-made plate camera designed for wide-angle photography, fitted with a Ross wide-angle lens. It sits within the tradition of dedicated wide-field view cameras used for architectural and landscape work.

Inspect the bellows for pinholes and light leaks, check that the wide-angle lens elements are clean and free of separation or fungus, and confirm that any shutter present fires at approximately correct speeds. Plate holders, ground glass and original fittings add value, and service support for cameras of this type is limited to specialist restorers.
