For sale is a very light and compact Japanese wooden 4x5 camera, ideal for backpacking. It measures 200 x 180 x 75 mm and weighs only 1.3 kilos.

The camera comes with one original lens board with a Copal 0 flange and 4 other lens boards I made from Baltic ply. The camera is in overall good user condition. The bellows is light-tight and supple. Has front rise and tilt, rear tilt and locks are firm. The bellows compresses to 65mm and extends to 325mm. The ground glass is clear. The bail back can be turned from portrait to horizontal in a few seconds and takes standard 4 X 5 film holders. There are some cosmetic marks and scuffs but generally in good user condition and fully functional. I used it with a 90mm Super Angulon, a 210 Fujinon and 8 3/4 Verito but I am now concentrating on 5 X 7 and 4 X 10.

$210.00USD plus shipping to Canada or continental USA
