Camera Type: Folding Camera
The Folding camera type covers cameras where the front lens element and shutter are fitted to a flexible bellows assembly which allows the camera to ‘fold’ up to a smaller size. This type of camera was very popular for medium format film where large negatives could be produced with small body cameras, and was also used with 35mm film to make miniature cameras.
