Reversible Back Premo model produced by Rochester Optical Co. from 1896 to 1900 in New York. This large format camera uses 6.5 x 8.5 inch glass plates as its medium.
The Reversible Back Premo possesses a greater focal capacity, and as its name indicates has a Reversible Back. This adjustment is especially desirable when the camera is used on a tripod, as the position of the plate may he instantly changed from a horizontal to a vertical position, or vice versa, without moving the camera itself. It has a Double Swing Back, both Rising and Sliding Front and a fine Rack and Pinion movement, permitting the most delicate focusing. The horizontal and vertical swings oscillate at
the center of the plate, which is optically correct. The extended bellows allows for copying, enlarging and all other purposes requiring an extended bellows length.
C. 1890
