bee,bee 1/4 plate double extension camera

22 03 2009

The bee

,bee is a nice little 1/4 plate camera,i brought it body only,i fitted a carl zeiss triotar 7.5cm lens,now i,ve converted the camera to be a pinhole camera,fitted a f250 pinhole lens and a stripped down 6cm+6cm folding camera for a film holder.The bee,bee has a removable lens panel like a large washer for quick release and lens changing.The movements are nice and smooth and bellows nice and springy.The focusing screen clips in so does the glass plate holder,they don,t slide in like most others just a little button that pops them of and clips on.The ground glass screen has a cross hair to which i never seen on a double extension plate camera before.Year around mid 1930,s-mid 1940,s.bee,bee
