For Sale: Osaka (Tachihara) 8 x 10 Field Camera In very good condition.
This great looking Osaka Field cameras was made by Tachihara and marketed and sold by Bromwell Marketing.
From the 1988 Bromwell Brochure: “These Osaka View cameras are built from selected Hokkaido cherry wood, naturally
dried for 3-4 years before manufacture. All models feature leather bellows, brass finish hardware, true plate-on-plate front
swings plus the other essential movements: front rise, front swings and tilts. All backs are reversing and are equipped with
Fresnel screens with printed grid.”
Condition: The camera body has very little signs of use, has smooth movements, everythingtightens down and the camera
is rigid and solid for field use. An easy camera to set-up and focus. The Fresnel screen is bright and makes focusing and
framing the shot a pleasure.
The bellows are light tight with some spots of discoloration on the sides and especially visible
along the left side of the bellows. (See photo). The bellows however, are light tight and supple.
Movements: The Osaka View (Double Extension) has 22.5 inches of maximum extension and comfortably takes a 420mm lens.
Minimum extension is 2.5 inches and will take a 65mm lens with bellows compressed tightly and a 75mm lens a little easier.
