I believe you are correct. Saw one on eBay. Went for $398 bucks. Well done!

Well, now that you have it, why not show it off some more?

How do you find the RF? Previously I was only aware of one other RF 4x5 that sync'd its RF to multiple lenses without removing and replacing a separate cams (Wista). I presume, from your description, that it can do this? How adjustable are the settings on the RF? How is the viewfinder? Parallax correction?

I'm greedy to hear all and see come nice camera porn of it too!

New challenge.

I'm in front of the TV, watching Lawrence of Arabia. The American jounalist Jackson Bentley shoots a camera I do not know. Thought it might be a Korelle, but it isn't.

Any suggestions, anyone?

By time, it might be a Contessa-Nettel Deckrouleau, or one of its many "strut folder with FP shutter" clones. But it looks a bit too much like a Zeiss Miroflex (6x9 with top cover up) - if so, the prop master was more than ten years off the mark, even though both cameras are related.

Correct! A Beseler Press Camera.

I'm not sure who actually made them. I found no country
of origin on it. Just the Beseler name in small letters on the
bed.

Might be it! Myself, I found an ICA Reica, which looks a bit like it, but the wire frame is missing on that one. The camera in the move clearly had a wire frame.

Not only the prop master was off, the director as well. The reporter shoots the camera as if it were an SLR, while it's a 9x12 plate camera.😀

If it is a Miroflex, it is a (hybrid) SLR...

It is a Beseler. Made in Japan for Beseler under Army contract. I own one. Anyone want to buy it?

I need to get the rear shutter working again.

A camera made in Japan with a Wolly and Raptar?

If the focal plane shutter were to work and it could support a Graflok roll film back on it, I might be interested.
