Art Panorama 170 Camera Body - with view finder - ground glass focus screen - two lens cones (120mm and 90mm)
It takes 120 film and will make 4 images per roll of about 6cm x 17cm
Camera works fine, but the weight without a lens is about 5.5 pounds. It is a solid chunk of metal, but it is just too heavy for me. Overall size is about 12 x 7 x 5 inches - the viewfinder does not easily detach.
Camera body shows some signs of wear to the paint, bellows is in good condition, leather covering may not be original but is in good condition. All film advance knobs are working fine, interior is clean. Focus adjustment knob does have some play - you can move the knob slightly before the bellows will respond. There are two cold shoes on the top of the body.
View finder is in good clean condition.
Lens cones are slightly modified Linhof lens boards - there is a semicircle on the middle of the bottom edge. They are the type that can be adjusted in length by using different sections and are covered with the same material as the camera body. One is about 70mm long and is the one I used with a 120mm lens, the other is 45mm long and I used it with a 90mm lens. Bellows extends about 90mm from film plane when fully extended.
This seems to be the best feature about the camera, in that you can adapt a lot of different focal lengths using the bellows and lens cones. You could even mount a wide angle on a flat Linhof board easily.
I added a small plastic piece to one of cold shoes to attach a "cheat sheet" for focusing the 120mm lens I was using, there is a marked ring for a 90mm lens attached to the focus knob.
Film advance is by watching numbers through the rear window which is exposed by sliding the metal ground glass holder out of it slot. Pushing it back in keeps the window covered with metal to prevent any light leakage through the paper backing of the film. Ground glass can only be used when there is no film loaded in the camera.
