Dallmeyer 15x12 lens on unknown 12x10 camera. The lens isn't all that heavy and I could get away without the lens support.

Camera looks like a close, unbranded cousin of my whole-plate. You could call it Big Houghton’

I have now added "The John Nesbitt" 10x8 to my John Nesbitt 7x5 and loving them both ! View attachment 6247

Those Nesbitts look built like nuclear fallout shelters!

Just bought this MPP 5x4 Micro Technical MK VI.
I think it had been stored in a shed as it had a very bad musty damp smell. I got rid if the smell by putting it in a box with a UV-C light source. This has the effect of killing any fungus & mold and also generates ozone which is great at removing old damp smells.
I have given it a good clean so looking forward to trying it out

Which UV-C light source did you use? I didn't know you could use light to get rid of musty smells from old gear.

Does anyone know which camera this might fit? Approximately 9 inches square. Metal pins on three corners. Home made. Came with a Sinar ground glass holder. It doesn’t fit the J Lancaster cameras that came with it. Thanks.

Could it be a DIY adapter to use 5x4 on a half-plate camera?

Yes, it’s definitely that but for which camera?
Someone did the same for this J Lancaster.

The back on my Houghton The Queen has pins in similar positions to use it on portrait or landscape orientation:
