Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $595.00 from Badger Graphic

Summary:

Not a bad camera overall. It's a good choice if you want a budget 4x5 camera and something that looks a little more "classic." A conversation piece for sure. Not the best when compared to similar priced units (Toyo 45CF) but still very good.

Strengths:

- Nice appearance - Good movments and bellows length - Takes standard Wista/Linhof lensboards

Weaknesses:

- Knobs seem a bit flimsy - Cherry wood is really bright, looks almost like plastic - Front standard swings a bit when pulled out, no accurate way to zero it

Similar Products Used:

Toyo 45CF, Ebony SV45TE

Customer Service:

Not needed
