The 3A Film Plate Special Premo was a folding bed plate camera for the special postcard format 3¼×5. It had a thumb screw below the lens to fix the lens standard vertically. It had a 90 degree turnable reflecting type finder on the folding bed. It was equipped with a fine lens/shutter combination. The one on the image above had an original Zeiss lens and a Compound shutter made under license by Bausch & Lomb.
