I have a couple with the Anastigmat F7.7 lens. The original format is just about 3x5 inches. I managed to take a photo or two with cut-down 4x5 -- one shot wonders! I made the mistake of making a nice little display of a couple of folders on a shelf and all of the bellows disintegrated after exposure to the air. An almost identical model 1 Autographic jr. is intact since it has always been kept in a case, so beware! Lots of fun. Your pics make me want to try making a bellows and finding a WA lens.
