One section of the body lifts out as a separate box, revealing a hidden compartment below. Inside the removable box is: a cardboard box containing 5x7 glass negatives (there are two pieces of glass layered in paper inside), two separate lens rings in their own red fabric bags, and various clinching couplings (one in its original plastic baggie).
