3 : The Camera Maker
' Now if I can' see what a customer wants, I'm in a bit of a flutter. It's a bit of a worry until I get hold of a plane and a piece of wood, and then all is peace.'
(FREDERICK GANDOLFI, camera maker)
Even today the fine hand-made plate camera is still the instrument of the professional.
In a London workshop FREDERICK and ARTHUR GANDOLFI still manufacture these splendid and much valued instruments, using techniques developed from a century of experience.
