Hi Chris
I'll throw my two cents in
I owned a Wisner Technical 4x5 - serial number 375 - was a very nicely made camera with no issues
I've read all the complaints - it appears a number are...
One of my favorites
Delrin yes - olive oil no
In all seriousness - I feel the camera suffered a blow during shipping
I may have seen the same camera as I was at the shop a week or so ago and it appeared to be in fine shape.

Thanks for the link
I'm all for Marco Antonio Cruz's work as well
I previously owned a Wisner 4x5 Tech & was very pleased with the camera & the build quality - if the camera is in good condition I would not hesitate to buy it if it meets your needs.
Good luck

You want to keep the scan as a negative & then convert in PS under image/adjustments/invert - then you will have a positive image to work from.
Not a problem Jeffrey
I'm travelling later this week so it would be a while before I could ship it if you do decide to go for it.
One option would be to cut it to size & then add a slightly...
I have a back that I will sell to you - I'm pretty sure it is an 8x10 to 5x7 reducing back but could be cut to size perhaps.
It's an Agfa/Ansco w/5x7 spring back - no groundglass but clips are...

I have two Rimowa cases & my sons each have one as well - great cases & very well built.
One of my cases must be about 20 years old & it's still in great shape along with the foam.

Having previously owned a Wisner 4x5 bag bellows - it was an early one but very well made with no problems - You may want to invert the bellows in order to work on the inside.
