Description: Zone VI 4X5 Folding Field Camera Kit with Schneider Symar S 210mm taking lens, a 150mm Schneider Componon S enlarging lens, Eight Modern Fidelity Plastic Cut Film holders, and a metal cable release. This Zone VI 4X5 folding field camera, made in the USA by Wista, comes as a kit so you can add your own tripod and film and get started in large format photography right away without having the bother of finding the correct lens and lens board for your camera. The enlarging lens is the correct size for a 4X5 enlarger making a quick start in the darkroom easier.Mechanically, it is complete with all knobs, springs, and guides where they should be. The tripod holes located on the bottom plate have good threads. The whole bottom plate, the spine of the camera, is metal and gives strength to this unit. The ground glass spring back can be mounted horizontally or vertically easily and quickly. The ground glass is very fine making it easy to focus. The bellows is new and undamaged. Camera weighs 3 ¼ pounds making it hiking or back packing friendly. The 210 Schneider lens is of high quality and was the size that was recommended by Zone VI for the 4X5 format. The two cracks in the lens board holder don’t leak light because the lens board itself covers them and bellows material has also been glued behind them. Is packed securely to protect your camera and lenses. Final comments: Compared to an old Burke and James 5X7 camera that I used for years this camera is a precision instrument that is compact and light to make hiking with it enjoyable. Esthetically, this camera shows careful use with light dings, nicks, and scratches in the wood and wear marks on the brass fittings. It would look good on a mantle or bookshelf.
