What it is

{"overview":"The Sanderson Field Camera is a British-made wooden folding plate camera, a type of large-format field camera designed for use on a tripod with sheet film or plate holders. These figures are saleroom hammer results — wholesale levels rather than retail asking prices — and in today's market a clean, complete example with intact bellows and original lens tends to sell for more than a stripped or damaged body.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leather bellows carefully for pinholes and splits, as replacement is the most common and costly repair on these cameras. Check the wooden body for cracks, loose joints, and worm damage, and confirm that the rising\/cross\/swing front movements still operate smoothly.
