view camera
Large format apparatus
A view camera is a large-format camera where the photographer composes and focuses the image on a ground-glass screen at the back, viewing it directly rather than through a viewfinder or lens.
The bellows connecting front and back allow extensive adjustments—tilts and shifts—for controlling perspective and depth of field.
View cameras produce exceptional detail and remain standard equipment for architectural and fine art photography.
