5 by 7 convertible camera with pinhole shutter/turret.

This camera is a sibling of the 5 by 7 stereoscopic camera. It varies in some details like the design of the rear standard and the film back latching mechanism. In this configuration there is no bellows septum and a single muti-position turret integrated into the pneumatically controlled shutter allows mounting pinholes and zone plates of varying focal lengths.

The rear box of this camera is similar to the one on the 5 by 7 stereoscopic camera. It has a different design for securing the film back in this case similar to an early Gandolfi design. In addition, the bellows mount frame is held in place by external screws.

The bellows on this camera is identical to the 5 by 7 stereoscopic camera with the exception that it does not have an internal divider septum.

The rear standard is a unique axis-tilt design that provides a tilting action at the base for folding the camera.

The front standard on this camera is identical to the one on the 5 by 7 stereoscopic camera.

This turret/shutter mechanism combines a 7 position turret with numbered positions and a pneumatically operated rotary shutter. The knob above the center of the mechanism is the turret knob used to change turret positions.
