About
The Klapp-Taschen-Camera, from the early 20th century, is a wooden-bodied strut-folding camera with nickel-plated metalwork and a leather bellows with a single, broad pleat. It has a good quality lens (the examples seen have a Goerz Dagor with helical focusing to about two metres), and a focal plane shutter with a range of speeds.[1][2] The lens-board allows front rise (when the camera is oriented horizontally). There is a collapsible Newton type finder and a spirit level on the top of the body
