AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"WISTA 45 Large Format Field Camera
Serial Number: 482711
Thank you for visiting my listing.
The WISTA 45 is a large-format field camera designed for 4x5 photography, where the photographer composes and focuses carefully on a large viewing surface before exposure. A field-camera design is attractive for landscape, architecture and still-life work because it combines large-format image quality with a body intended to be transported and set up on location. The manual operation gives the user direct control over focusing and camera movements. This camera has been carefully inspected and tested in Japan.
■ Appearance
There are some age-related scuffs, but overall the camera remains reasonably clean. Please review the photos for details.
■ Viewfinder
There is some fungus and haze in the viewing/focusing area.
■ Functional
A series of basic operations has been checked.
■ Included Items
Only the items shown in the photos are included.
■ Shipping
Shipped from Japan by FedEx or EMS with tracking, to the Catawiki registered address only. I cannot ship to Russia.
■ Payment
Ships within 3 business days after payment is confirmed.
■ International Buyers - Please Note
Import duties, taxes, VAT and customs charges are not included and are the buyer's responsibility. No refund will be issued if the buyer refuses these charges or the package.
Thank you very much for viewing my listing."
