Ansco 10” x 8” Wooden Large Format Field Camera System Bellows damaged, otherwise in good condition. For sale, a Ansco Large Format 10 x 8 Wooden Field Camera with 7 x 5 and 5 x 4 reducing backs. These cameras are fully adjustable in all directions so have Tilt, Swivel, Rise and Fall adjustments, therefore all aspects of Depth of Field (DoF) control is possible. This camera comes complete with a 10 x 8 back, a 7 x 5 reducing back and a 5 x 4 reducing back. Unfortunately the bellows has just been damaged, and while it could be repairable, ideally it needs a new one at a cost of ~€180. So therefore the price of the camera has been substantially reduced. The camera is currently fitted with a mint Nikon 300mm f/5.6 Copal 1 large format lens which has enough excess coverage for all reasonable movements for DoF adjustments. (Note: a 300 mm lens is the standard lens for a 10” x 8” film size.). The Camera can be supplied with or without the lens. Also included is a 10” Bed Extension, 2 no. 10 x 8 Double Dark Slide Cut Film Holders 1 no. 7 x 5 Double Dark Slide Cut Film Holders and 2 no. 5 x 4 Double Dark Slide Cut Film Holders. These cameras, while normally used in the field for landscapes, due to their light weight make excellent studio cameras. 10 x 8, 7 x 5 & 5 x 4 Sheet B&W Film is available at additional cost €550 ono without the lens, or €1,550 with the lens Contact Jim
