Not a pocket camera for sure. I have always found these large format cameras a mixture of technology (for their time) and a work of art. I used to shoot a 4 x 5 but the cost of film and developing just became excessive. Amazing clarity and stellar lighting. A terrific find and capture!!! VV++

So you just point and shoot? Does it do eye-detection? ;)
Wonderful capture.

I wonder if I could have learned to use one?
I love this!

I wonder what the owner of this camera would have to see about your Huawei :) Great shot - I love how you capture the highlights. V

Hmmm. And you can't even talk on the telephone with this? V

I always admires the brass fittings and brass lens barrels. My father made our first enlarger from an ancient camera in the '30s. Your image displays a particularly professional one in your always quality way. "V"

just the device for a photo stroll around town...or maybe not!!...early photograhers are to be admired for their resourefulness and exertions...even Fox Talbot's cameras were a lot smaller...well done Fong to capture this fascinating image..
