Selling my Cameo Wide 470. This is a 4x5 camera with a Schneider 47mm f5.6 lens. It's about as compact and light as you can get. It's basically lens in a focussing helicoid mounted on a frame with a handle and ground glass. Movements are provided in the form of limited horizontal or vertical shift (either-or; not both). The 47mm lens is extremely wide and quite sharp. The one on this camera is clean and works as it should. Please note that this lens does not fully cover 4x5; you will definitely see vignetting, even stopped down. It was intended for use with roll film backs up to 6x12, which it fully covers. (There is a "47xl" version of this camera with a 47mm lens that does fully cover 4x5, but they seem to be pretty scarce). The camera takes standard Graflok backs, so you can mount most any roll film, Polaroid or sheet film back meant for 4x5 cameras.

This is a great camera if you want to shoot large negatives on the go. It fits easily in a backpack or bag and handles nicely. You can read more about it at https://www.oddcameras.com/cambo_wide_470.htm (I believe the author is a Photrio member).

Camera comes with everything seen in the photos, including lens cap, ground glass protector and handle.

Asking $900 + shipping & fees. If you believe I'm way off on price feel free to make an offer.

Here are a couple. The holder used for the train shot had a problem, so the vignette in the upper right corner is larger than it normally would be.
