FS: Super Lightweight 4 x 5 Wide – Angle Camera

This is a Dirk Fletcher wide-angle 4 x 5 camera based on a 3D printed Will Travel body with some excellent custom upgrades. Installed is a 65mm f/8 Schneider Super Angulon lens in a Synchro Compur shutter. Lens shade and cap included. Installed on top is a Fujifilm VF-X21 - 21/28 mm viewfinder. Box and pouch for viewfinder included. Bubble level on top and side of camera body. Locking shutter release cable included.

Upgrades include a brass helical focus mount, zone focusing from infinity to 6 feet.

Custom spring back allows use of regular 4 x 5 sheet film holders or use of removable ground glass for slower more precise focusing. Quickload and Polaroid backs work with GG removed but Graphmatic or roll-film backs will not fit.

A handy left-hand grip with strap was added for easy handheld use. This camera weighs just under 33 ounces and can be easily balanced in the left hand while inserting a film holder with the right hand.

Arca Swiss compatible mounting plate affixed to the bottom of camera.

All the upgrades to the original body were well thought out and installed. I didn’t have time to use this camera, so I am passing it on to some one that wants for explore 4 x 5 wide-angle photography, with a unique, lightweight easy to carry camera for travel or street photography.

Price Reduction to: $500.00 includes shipping in the CONUS PayPal accepted.

Luckily this doesn't weigh too much at just 2 lbs. 1 ounce.
So you hardly know it is taking up space in your camera bag.
 
Also included with this sale are (3) three Fidelity Deluxe 4 x 5 sheet film holders
in excellent condition. See photos.
