Description: The ideal camera is pronounced by all to be one of the best view cameras ever placed on the market. It is the result of much study and many experiments, made with a view of producing an instrument combining all the qualities required in a view camera for the professional or amateur photographer. It has fine rack and pinion focusing movement. The bellows are cone shaped with front wide enough for stereoscopic work.
