In addition to the patented movements described below, all Wisner cameras have full front movements, including shift, swing, base and axis tilt, rise and fall. The Wisner Company is the only large format manufacturer in the world which makes their own leather bellows. Cameras up to 8x10 are equipped with our exclusive ultra-flexible bellows of kid leather, lined with black China silk.
Silk is used because it is ultra thin, and has high tensile strength.
Because of its fine materials and construction, we can guarantee the bellows will never crack with age. The standard bellows is interchangeable with our bag bellows so that the minimum focus is 0 mm. The use of cumbersome recessed lens boards is unnecessary. All Wisner cameras have both front and rear focusing of precision hard brass racks and pinions. The triple extension draw of all of our cameras is more than three times their normal focal length.
