This Ikeda (later nagaoka style) 4X5 camera is one of the lightest and smallest field cameras ever made, at 2.6LB (1.15KG) this camera is the ideal tool for hikers and backpackers. Along with a nice set of lenses this is a great outdoors 4X5 field camera kit, there is not much this camera cannot do. This is a later version of the venerable Nagaoka design, with racking rear standard and other improvements.

LENSES:
Schneider Xenar 135mm F4.7: The 135mm is a slightly "wide/normal" angle of view on 4X5 (equivalent to 38mm on 35mm format cameras). This lens is compact, light and SHARP. Glass is generally clean, shutter fires nicely on all speed.
Rodenstock Geronar MC 210mm F8: 210mm lens is a tele/portrait angle of view lens on 4X5 (equivalent to 85mm on 35mm format cameras). An excellent, modern, 210mm multicoated lens with lots of coverage and excellent sharpness and contrast. Clean glass and good working shutter.
