The Kershaw Raven is a British self-erecting folding camera made by Kershaw of Leeds and sold through Soho Ltd, London, in the 1930s, taking eight 6x9cm frames on 120 roll film. It has a Kershaw Anastigmat 4-inch f/6.3 lens in a Raven shutter with speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 plus B and T, and apertures from f/6.3 to f/22. Framing is through the folding wire-frame finder or the small brilliant finder on the lens standard, and it folds flat into its bakelite-style body when closed.
