Strength:

Superb construction. Great movement range. Bag bellows option. Small and light, great for backpacking. A beauty to watch.

Weakness:

Not very user friendly with lenses shorter than 80mm. A 75mm or shorter lens requires either bag bellows or a recessed board (the standard bellows prevents any movements, that's the price to pay for a bellow that can extend to 19")

Fantastic camera. All the bellows extension and movements you need in a very small and light package. Great quality. Superb service from Wisner. I bought this camera slightly used two months after the original owner purchased it from Wisner. Yet when needing some adjustments and modifs (add'l tripod socket...) Wisner was extremely responsive and didn't charge me a dime. I have been very pleased with the camera. It's a joy to use and simple to operate once you figure out all the movements and the opening/closing process. This camera is so beautiful that it attracts a lot of crowd though.

Customer Service

Excellent. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Amazing movements, great bellows extension, and it is beautiful

Weakness:

small knobs

Great camera...need help with customer srevice. If you order do not order direct from Wisner. Order through a rep. I would point you to Darkroom Innovations/View Camera store.

Customer Service

Customer Service is lacking somewhat. I have waited for over two months for a fresnel that I ordered. I still have not gotten it and Wisner Manufacturing is ignoring my emails.
