Wista Triple Extension 8X10 field camera w/Kowa Graphic 305mm F9 + holders

The Wista triple extension 8X10 field camera is a compact folding, lightweight camera. This Wista has all the advancements of later model Wista's with improved hardware materials, teflon washers and super refined finish. Amazing craftsmanship, hand made in Japan. This is the rarest of the 8X10 Wistas, with a triple extension offering 32"+ of extension. Coupled with the legendary Kowa Graphic 305mm, this makes the ultimate 8X10 kit.
