- Rochester Optical Company View Camera, New Model Style, circa 1895 - Folding cameras were designed to be portable and rugged. The lens sits at the end of a collapsible bellows system, often adjustable to provide better focus. The back of this camera held glass plates for exposure; some models contained cartridges with multiple plates. Once user-friendly roll film cameras were perfected around 1900, plate cameras began to wane.
