Stenopeika Leonardo 8×10

Description

The Stenopeika Leonardo is a “lightweight” 8×10 format field camera that folds down to surprisingly portable size (don’t mistake that for pocketable: it’s still about 14x14x5 inches.) In excellent condition, with only minor cosmetic wear. These are handmade, low volume cameras (this is serial number 73) but that doesn’t mean it’s old fashioned: there’s plenty of movement front and rear, the bellows attach magnetically with a series of rare earth magnets, and there’s a well machined central focusing gear that makes fine adjustments easy. Accepts Sinar or, with the included flat and recessed adapters, Technika IV/V lens boards. This camera includes an 8×10 back with one holder, a rare 4×10 panoramic back with one holder, and a wide angle bag bellows. Film holders, film, lenses and lens boards are sold separately.
