Rumors rumors rumors.....
The back on the 8x10 Wilderness camera that I have in my possession is completely and easily reversible for horizontal and vertical formats. It is a very sturdy well made back on a very sturdy well made camera. It is a very modest sized camera for an 8x10 - feels more like a big 5x7 or whole plate camera.

When someone who has one in his possession says it isn't reversible, that's more than a rumor. Of course it's a new camera possibly without any instructions and it's very possible he simply hasn't discovered how to reverse it, or that a reversible back was added to the design since his early model one was produced, so that's all good to know.

Thanks - puts it back in the realm of "possibly a really good buy for a new 8x10."

I took 3 pics for my wildness III , to show how to change the back frame position for horizontal and vertical formats.


slide the module I highlighted in the pic , then you can take of the back ground glass frame.

in version IV , wildness use fresnel & focus combined acrylic screen, and make a alu case for long-distance shipping.
pls refer to this pic:

So... I can't remember... does this fine camera have zero detents for front swing? I assume it's the same knob that locks swing and shift, right? Does it have anything to guide you in keeping the standards parallel - also when applying shifts?

thanks...
