Maximar 207 folding plate camera in good overall condition, tested and working.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this lot, a classic, robust, and fascinating vintage half-plate bellows camera: the ICA Maximar 207, produced in Germany by ICA in Dresden during the 1920s.
The lot is presented in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and storage consistent with the age of the item, and it is complete with its original optical block mounted on an extendable rail.
Optics: The camera mounts the original Novar-Anastigmat 1:6.3 f=10.5 cm lens. The lenses appear free of deep scratches or traces of internal mold and fungus; only a normal, widespread light vintage patina due to time is present, entirely realistic for a piece of this age.
Mechanical: The lot is mechanically functional. The antique central mechanical shutter Derval responds correctly to manual commands, triggering regularly at the various speeds set by the corresponding lever. The front panel releases correctly and the system allows smooth extension of the bellows along the rails up to the working position.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid and robust metal body preserves its original black leather surface, with the model name "Maximar 207" embossed in relief on the leather carry handle. It shows the classic, normal signs of time and superficial handling along the outer metallic profiles.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
