It looks like something that might have been used in the printing industry many years ago.

Nice find, it is a process camera:

The lenses will be highly corrected to give a flat field, high resolution and probably apochromatic.

If its a process camera, its a very old one.
Lovely find !
If you have a large house this thing could be displayed as art.

Yes I thought same, currently it has APO GERMINAR Tessar, it will go. After full refurbish and apply with a nice brass optic it will be good in any big home.

Provia! Very Happy

That camera looks big enough to BE a home. Somebody already moved in I see. Laughing Extend bellows for sleeping place; folding bed ha ha. Would that not be an ultimate gear addiction, to live inside camera? Smile

I can read "Paul Drews" and "Berlin" on camera, "Carl Zeiss" on mounted lens. There are two lenses...

The rails are missing...
