- Description
- A larger black leather folding box camera. The top of the camera has a small black metal switch that when slid up creates an arm with a shape like two feet and there is a silver metal bar that can be slid over to release the back panel of the camera. This back panel is where the film would be loaded and reveals the back of the folded bellows. To release the front of the camera, there is a silver metal knob that gets pulled. Once the front panel is open, it reveals a metal track, focal range meter, lens holder and black bellows folded. When extended, the lens holder has two silver knobs that twist to raise and slide the lens up and down, and side to side. The left is for vertical movement and the right is for horizontal. The lens is missing from the camera. On the interior of the panel near the hinge is text that reads “HEAG XI.” and in the middle a logo that is not recognizable.
