Nice. It's pretty. Was tossing up between this or a tachi but the tachi was a steal so I went with that option. Just got a 045f1 to replace my warped 45AII. Both are waiting for me when I get home

Love drooling over chamonix ULF cams though. I hope for the sake of my finances I cap it at 8x10. Or my knees give out as a good excuse not to get a camera that matches my own bodyweight.

Tachi in 8x10 is an excellent camera. Mine is triple extension and I have yet to encounter a situation which it cannot cope with...

[AlexGard]

Yeah mine is triple extension also. Although not sure it'll ever get used that long.. Which, by the way, is the maximum focal length it can take?

[andreios]

My longest lens is 19in.. I am not sure but I think it will accomodate a 24in as well. That is 610mm if my maths are correct.

[AlexGard]

Yikes.

Mine is a little different, it has a sliding panel in the front, so you can still get some rise and fall when the bellows are compressed. The metal parts appear to be aircraft aluminum, and it only weighs 5.5 pounds, if I recall correctly. There is also no model name on mine. 5x7 is a terrific format!

You may have what Wisner called a "Pocket Expedition" which came late in the history of the company. There probably are not too many out there. At least in 4x5, it was smaller and lighter than other models in that format. Pictures of yours?

Hello Keith,
Here are two pictures of the camera, the first with a 90mm mounted on the front:



and this from the side:



I bought the camera from Robert (fuegocito), a user on this board, the second picture is his. I don't know if the camera is a Pocket Expedition. Is it? Perhaps he knows.

I like 5x7 because it is just a little bigger and heavier than 4x5, and fits in the same f-stop backpack I used for my 4x5 Wisner. The negatives are amazing and 5x7 is an interesting aspect ratio.

Hey Larry, your camera is in this Wisner catalog & Keith was correct. Your Wisner 5x7 is a Pocket Expedition not a one off.

Here's a link to a Wisner Catalog. You may want to bookmark this or copy onto your hard drive.*Pocket Exp. is on pg.11
