The Prestwich 4 was unique as the first camera to introduce interchangeable lenses (Dallmeyer 2" and 3") as well as interchangeable 50 feet and 400 feet magazines. The lens panel is removable so that lenses could be quickly changed and at the top left of the side panel is a dial recording the amount of film used. This camera reputedly filmed Queen Victoria's funeral procession in 1901 and was certainly used until the Olympic Games in London in 1908 and probably till the First World War. In very good condition with original crank.
