Does anyone know anything about this camera?

Hi all!



Does anyone know anything about this camera? The only thing I know is that it's a 8x10 format one. I don't know if it's a branded one or a homemade specimen.

Thank you very much in advance.

A very similar camera was brought up on largeformatphotography quite a while ago. The "drawer slides" aren't easily forgotten. I think it might have been either a Mexican-made camera or a camera kit. The only Mexican-made camera that came up in a quick search was Noba, which is very different.

Maybe someone can remember the discussion ...

Looks a lot like the newer iteration of the (made in Lithuania) Vist cameras with the re-positionable back!

I thought at 1st of the imports from India, but it is better made than are they. Whatever it is, it looks very usable , and relatively lightweight.

Thank you very much everyone for your answers!

It definitely looks like one of those Vist. Does anyone have experience with them, are they usable? (the slides like my kitchen drawers have killed me...)
