For sale is a Bossy Turtle 4x5 Camera in excellent operating condition. This is a simple 4x5 camera meant to be used for portraits. It has front tilt and rise movements and a reversible back with no movements. The bellows extends from 90mm to 270mm. It might be possible to focus a 400mm tele lens at infinity. There are the usuall scuffs and marks of usage.
The camera accepts Rittreck 115mm square lens boards. I will include your choice of a Copal 0 or Copal 1 lens board with the camera. While the camera is a bit bulky, it weighs only 1.8 kilos.

All movements are smooth and the locks are firm. The bellows are light-tight and supple. The focusing screen is bright and clear.
