Woodyman 7×5, 5×7 Large Format Field Camera

You know us, we love helping startups, the small guys!

Having shared a stand with the creator of Woodyman, Alix and having seen his cameras first hand, we are delighted to be able to offer you the first in what we hope will be a longer term relationship of offering these lovely, hand crafted cameras.

We kinda fell in love with this one, his first 7×5 model. Especially when we worked out pricing!

Price includes all duties and taxes of stepping away from the commercial constraints of the French micro business VAT status that these guys often work within.  It does not include the lens shown.

Materials used: yes plywood but of advanced quality, it is sealed with semi matt water resistant lacquer, the architecture comprising high grade aluminium and carbon fibre.

The combination of the above makes this one of the sturdiest rear focusing field cameras I have ever experienced in all honesty. Very impressive.

The base board is scaled and annotated with the various lens designations, which a lot of people miss on such cameras.

Front and rear standards are neatly fitted with spirit levels and it has tripod fitting for both 1/4″ and 3/8th screws.  Supplied with three lens boards (lens shown not included in the sale price of course!)

Want this and need a lens?  Check our Nikkor 210mm f5.6 😉

Being his first 5×7 demo it has one or two almost imperceptible marks hence this special price.

It really is a terrific camera that is superbly hand built yet comes in at a price that is much more than just reasonable!

We can also ask Alix for special order on his similar models you can see in the video there: 5×4, 10×8 and later on the 11×14 which at this point in time is still being evolved.
