AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This WALCON camera is a vintage large and medium format folding camera equipped with a Nitto Kogaku Copal lens. Made in Japan, this camera combines mid-20th-century craftsmanship with versatile functionality. It is a great example of an era where portability and design were integral to camera engineering.
Despite its age, this camera is operational, with all functions, including the shutter, aperture, and timer, still working. However, due to its age and usage, there are notable signs of wear on the exterior. The lens does exhibit some mold, cloudiness, and dust, but the camera has been simply cleaned, and it is believed that with proper care, the camera is still capable of taking photos.
