The Kershaw Raven is a black Bakelite folding camera for type No. 120 rollfilm. It was made in England by Kershaw Soho (Sales) Ltd., c.1947. The bakelite body is very like those of earlier Soho products (e.g. the Soho Model B).
The Bakelite front door is part of the bellows' self-erecting mechanism, and is reinforced with a metal plate to mount the folding struts. the door carries a tripod bush and a folding leg; a second tripod bush for landscape format pictures is mounted in side. When unfolded the lens standard position is fixed.
The Raven has a focusable 1:6.3 F=4in Kershaw Anastigmat[1] triplet lens, a self-cocking dial-set shutter with three speeds, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 plus T and B, aperture stops from f6.3 to f22, a reflecting "brilliant" type finder and a collapsible two-frame finder.
