Korona Cameras, Gundlach-Manhattan Optical Co., (Rochester, NY), dated January 1, 1915, ~6"x8 ½", 56pp

Two more view cameras are added here since the 1912 catalog: the Korona Banquet Camera and the Korona Panoramic Camera.  These are some of the most extreme view cameras ever made, having large plates and large length to width ratios.  1915 is the first catalog to feature a Home Portrait Outfit (page 24), a combination of camera, lens, shutter, tripod, plate holder and canvas case, designed probably for professionals who traveled to homes to take portraits rather than having a studio.  In this year, however, the camera was the Criterion, whereas later a specialized Home Portrait Camera was produced.
