Scope and content
Item is a Gevaert Gevabox 6x9 box camera that took 6x9 images on 120 film. It was manufactured by L. Gevaert & Cie, a Belgian company that merged with Agfa AG and Bayer AG in 1964. It has a rectangular metal body with chrome edges, a single-speed + B shutter, two waist-level viewfinders for landscape and portrait formats, and an f8 lens. The two dials on the bottom-front of the camera allow the photographer to choose between one of the three apertures, and between M and B.
