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."
Seller's Story
We are a professional camera seller based in Japan, specializing in the sale, servicing, repair, restoration, and refinishing of cameras and photographic equipment.
Rather than simply reselling used cameras, we carefully inspect each item and carry out servicing, repairs, and restoration when necessary. We also provide professional camera repair and servicing for camera dealers and retailers throughout Japan.
One of our specialties is professionally refinished cameras. Selected cameras are carefully disassembled, prepared, repainted, and reassembled, giving them a fresh new appearance while respecting the original character and craftsmanship of each camera.
Our collection includes classic film cameras as well as cameras and photographic equipment from a wide range of eras and manufacturers.
We believe that a well-made camera is more than just an item to be bought and sold. With proper care and servicing, these cameras can continue to be used and appreciated for many years to come.
Our goal is to restore their functionality and beauty and pass them on to their next owners in the best possible condition.
Every item is carefully inspected and honestly described before being offered for sale.
All items are carefully packed and shipped from Japan.
Thank you for visiting our collection.
We hope you find a camera that you will enjoy, use, and treasure for many years to come.
