Buying Guide
Deardorff cameras are the classic American 8x10. Made in Chicago from the 1920s through the 1980s. Beautiful craftsmanship in mahogany and brass. The 8x10 format produces stunning contact prints. Heavy but manageable for dedicated work. A collector's item with working camera credentials. Inspect wood and bellows carefully.
