    Another Fotoman-like clone!

    Here is one on the auction site tthat looks something like the Aero Tac from another thread here. The offering title is:

    "4x5 travel film camera with schneider-kreuznach 65mm f8 lens"

    Can't seem to transfer any pictures this time though. Can one of our tech-adepts move one or two images?

    Tthis seems to have features I'd like to see on the next (if ever) iteration of the TravelWide. Most desired would be the ability to mount the gg spring back from a grafloc. Looks like the auction camera has a Grafloc back screwed on. The other feature; looks to me like it may be possible to change out the lens mounting plate (interchangeable cones?)

    If anyone can move a few images over, we can talk about it.

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    I am pretty sure it was a Japanese aerial camera. Only the body remains. The lens cone, back and viewer are missing.

    I'm afraid to click on those links. Will the ebay police come to my house?

    Looks like it actually has a Grafloc back installed, but the GG spring back is missing. I'd buy it for a project csmer if the price was lower ()by a lot!).
