Petapixel reports: [edited]
This camera was used for aerial photography during World War II. Mounted on the front of the camera is a 610mm f6 lens.
The Fairchild K-17 was designed by Fairchild Camera and Instrument and manufactured under license for the US Air Corps by Folmer Graflex in Rochester, New York in the early 1940s. It shot 9×9-inch (22.86×22.86cm) photos on 9 1/2-inch wide roll film.
While these cameras were normally clamped into mounts, a pair of handles and a viewfinder could be fitted for hand-held operation. What “hand-held” meant is subject to interpretation, as with a 200 foot roll of film, the A-5 film magazine used with the K-17 weighed 30 pounds. A complete K-17 with 12″ lens cone and a full magazine weighed about 55 pounds. With a 24″ lens instead of the 12″, the weight climbed to 75 pounds.
