Constructed entirely of seasoned cherrywood to ensure strength and beauty, the Wista Field-45 DX models eliminate the possibility of warping. The hardware is brass, the corners skillfully joined with durable tongue and groove joints. The hardwood and brass give the DX beauty and durability. DX models will accommodate short focal lenses up to 65mm without the aid of a recessed lens board.
The recessed base plate allows the camera to be folded and transported without having to dismount the lens. Most lenses from 120 to 150mm in length, can be left on the camera when transported(mounted backwards), saving set-up time and space in your camera case.
The 45 DX model 2 is Wista's basic camera and does not feature the rear shift of the standard DX model. It has a permanent bellows and is the lightest of their wooden cameras.
