Kodak's Premo No. 9 was available in different versions, the budget version with Planatograph lens or slow F7.7 Kodak Anastigmat and Ball Bearing Shutter, another with F6.3 Kodak Anastigmat lens and Optimo shutter, and a more expensive one with Bausch-Lomb Kodak Anastigmat F-6.3 lens and Optimo shutter, and in three sizes, each for a different frame size: 4×5", 3 1/4×5" 1/2, and 5×7" The double-extension bellows made macro shots possible or tele lenses attachable. It was a large format folding bed camera with swing bed, reversible back, rising and falling front, and rack and pinion focusing facility. As well a reversible brilliant finder. It was usable with film plates or Premo film packs.
