SP45pro 4×5 Modular View Camera

Description

Knob-controlled movements for deliberate composition and focus. Both standards offer ±45 mm shift, ±28 mm rise/fall, ±20° swing and ±15° tilt. Swing is center-axis; the tilt axis sits toward the bottom. Worm drives hold tilt and swing through self-locking action. Shift and rise/fall use lead screws; release their locking levers before adjustment.

Both standards focus independently with rack drives as standard. Optional custom lead-screw focusing offers 0.04 or 0.01 mm travel per division. Blue knobs have 100 divisions per turn and folding cranks for rapid travel or direct fine adjustment. Folded cranks preserve the knob profile and knurled grip. These values describe graduations, not measured positioning accuracy.

CNC construction conceals front-facing screws on the focusing-screen assembly and lens-board adapter, retaining internal spring elements. The camera separates into 6 modules without tools for packing and reassembly. A protective carrying case is included. Removing the shift modules provides a lighter configuration.

The Graflok back includes a ground-glass panel with a Fresnel screen. Remove the back, turn it 90° and reinstall it to switch image orientation. The lens interface accepts standard 96 x 99 mm Linhof boards, including recessed boards. Usable movements depend on lens coverage, bellows and clearance.

The 360 mm rail has an Arca-Swiss-compatible dovetail, one 3/8-inch and two 1/4-inch threaded holes.

Dimensions (L × W × H): 360 × 229.25 × 364.60 mm, with the rear standard within the rail ends.
