i was just kidding about the set up, it likely never had a soft box with the camera - that is a light diffusion device used for portraits

the lens will be mounted on a removable board, the size will be on the front ring

looks a little small for 4x5-as does the tripod- those film boxes should show the film size - Burke & James made a 2x3 (or 6x9 cm) baby press camera- that might be one, if so the film back in the lower right of the picture maybe for 120 or 620 roll film. that would be more useful as 2x3 sheet film is no longer common

as i say film is a lot of fun- two big camera bags ride in my truck- one for the digital equipment

and one is for film - that always has a Nikon F3 and a Mamiya 645 in it with an assortment of lenses for each - and a rangefinder of some make is usually handy between the seats for quick snaps-
