Looking for a specific field camera....

[Mark Wiens]

I am interested in finding a field camera with forward axis tilts. (pivots from the center, not at the base)

Can someone tell me what is out there? Thanks.

both metal and wood canhams have both axis and base tilts.

As far as I know, all the Wisner field cameras have forward axis tilts, I know for sure the Traditional does.

I would think that most decent field cameras have front axis tilt.

Mark: Are you looking for geared forward tilts, or just the ability to do it? Most field cameras can do this. Most can do both axis and base tilts. Wisners, Zone VI, Tachihara and Deardorffs all can do axis tilts. All three of those (not the Deardorff) will tilt from the base too. The only one I've used which won't (with reasonable ease) do this is the Ikeda, since the front standard hooks into slots which make it inconvenient to do anything other than base tilts. (But you can get there by lowering the standard out of the slots, tilting it a little bit, and then raising it and tightening the screws.)

wista metal fields have axial tilt, maybe their woodies too

[chris jordan]

yep, confirming that Wista metal fields have them. i use a Wista SP with a cool friction-gear driven front axis tilt that can be micro-adjusted.

B+H sells field cameras and has technical specifications.

My Tachihara, which I bought last summer new, does not have axis tilts on the front. It is base tilt. I'm thinking about removing the little tit that slides in the slot. Anyone tried that?

Regards,

Doug.
