Selling my Rittreck View with 5 X 7 back in good condition. Bellows are light tight and and are supple. All movements work properly and lock down tightly. Comes with a user manual in English and 3 lens boards in Copal 3 and Copal 1 and one undrilled recessed lens board (not shown). 5 X 7 back opens and closes smoothly and ground glass is in good shape. The 4 X 5 revolving back has a Graflok type back which I understand was only available on the later models and quite hard to come across - most I have seen are spring backs. I used it with a Grafmatic and a 6 x 12 roll film back and a Graflex 6 X 9 roll film back. Ground glass in good shape with a fresnel. New seals on 5 x 7 and 4 x 5 back.
Camera front movements are :
Rise 50mm
Fall 35mm
Tilt 25 deg back and forward
Swing 21 deg in either direction

Camera back movements are :
Tilt 25 deg back and forwards
Swing 17 deg in either direction
Microfine tilt 1 degree backward and forward
Lateral shift 72mm

Maximum bellows extension 400mm Minimum extension bellows 72mm. Weight 9lbs 4 oz.

Much has been written about these cameras and a google search will bring up many articles.
