ere is a nice K.B. Canham gridded 5×7 ground glass and Fresnel. Ground glass is in very good condition and the Fresnel only shows a few minor scratches, nothing that would adversely affect its usability.
Over the years we have accumulated several K.B. Canham 110 x 110 mm lens boards drilled in several sizes. These lens boards fit the Canham 4×5, 4×10 and 5×7 cameras. All boards are genuine Canham, bearing the company logo in the lower right corner and stamped on the reverse KBC.These are solid aluminum boards with rounded corners. They have been used and show some wear and scratches, but all are in excellent, usable condition. Most are drilled 41.6mm for Copal #1 shutter. We do have some boards drilled 34.6mm for Copal #0 and one 65mm for Copal #3.
If you are interested drop us a line to check to see what shutter sizes we have available. We will leave this listing up as long as we have boards, do not hesitate to inquire.

We have for sale one of the best Wisner cameras made, the 8×10 Expedition. Quoting from the original catalog listing: “This series is for the photographer who wants the full features of the Technical Field Cameras, including the patented Wisner geared axis tilt and rear rise, but who wants a light weight camera for backpacking or other location work. These cameras are made of American black cherry and high strength aircraft aluminum which has been brass anodized.” You will find the original Wisner catalog HERE with more information and specifications.This was Susan’s main camera up to about ten years ago when she moved to the pano format exclusively. There are some modifications including, foldaway closure latches and a lay flat leather hand strap. The camera has been in storage, is complete, fully functional and in excellent condition. It comes with the original maroon leather bellows, a black fabric bellows, a plain ground glass and original matching cherry wood ground glass protector. Sorry, we do not have any lens boards for this camera.
“The Zone VI 4×5 Camera has many unique features: Its 18-inch extension and 22-inch bellows can handle, with full movements, lenses to 355mm. It allows greater than1:1 ratio with a 210mm lens for extreme close-ups. With the 120mm lens, you can get more than a 2:1 ratio. The bellows is removable. When the optional bag bellows is substituted, unlimited movements with lenses from 47mm to 165mm are available. There is a front shift movement – rare on field cameras – which is convenient for precise lateral framing. There are tilts from the base as well as through the lens axis; another unusual feature.”
“As versatile in the studio as it is in the field, its range of movements exceeds the covering power of lenses designed for an 8×10! Front rise and fall, 3” travel. Front base tilt, 45° forward, 45° back. Front axis tilt, unlimited. Front swing, 17°. Note: a front drop (we have a 1 ½” drop) achieves the same result as a rear rise. The front shift achieves the same result as a back shift to the opposite side. The camera folded, measures 3 ¼’ by 7 ¾” by 9 ½”. It weighs six pounds. The 545 and 550 Polaroid backs, the Calumet and Sinar roll film backs, and the Kodak Readyload backs are accommodated.”
