Wisner Pocket Expedition Ultralight 4X5 Camera with 150mm + 215mm lenses KIT #5785
$2,500.00
The Wisner Pocket Expedition is Wisner's true pinnacle of design, combining all of the features from the traditional field cameras with every possible advancement in design they made over the years. The result is a compact and ultralight camera (under 3LBS!) with near endless controls and movements that despite being lighter and smaller than the traditional model, still offers a best in class bellows draw and rigidity along side the patented Wisner rear geared tilt. A masterpiece of engineering and design. Compact yet still offering a massive bellows draw, extensive movements (some geared!) and incredible stability and rigidity. Made of the best possible materials with some of the finest craftsmanship ever put to a wooden camera with fit and finish that defy belief.
This is a custom order kit with all black hard anodized hardware over cherry wood and a black bellows. Only a handful of these were ever made, an exceedingly rare camera, own the legend.
