Hi. What is the difference between a view camera and a field camera in the large format? -Harry The term 'view camera' refers to any camera which projects its image for viewing directly on a ground glass and (usually) has some capability for camera movements such as shifts, tilts, and swings. A field camera is on kind of view camera which folds up for convenient carrying in the field. There is usually a fixed back and the front standard racks back and forth on a bed which is closed when transporting the camera and opened during use. Many field cameras are made of wood, but others are made of light metal or combinations of metal and wood. The other common kind of view camera is the 'monorail', which has a rail to which both standards are attached and both standards can be moved back and forth. Monrails are usually (but not always) somewhat heavier than field cameras and designed to be used in a fixed location such as a studio. Monorails generally allow for more extensive movements than a typical field camera. However, real view cameras often employ unique designs which depart one way or another from the above descriptions. For example, my Toho FC-45X is in principle a monorail camera, but it is one of the lightest cameras around, and it comes apart readily for easy transportation in the field. There are also view cameras called 'technical cameras'. These are similar to field cameras except the are made of metal, may have a rangefinder and differ in other ways from a typical field camera. |

True, but the question was good and maybe the answers were helpful to other readers than Mr. Asshole. Cross-posting is unforgivable, though. I just wonder how (s)he'll reply... S |
