Hi all,
I purchased what looks to be an old Wista Metal Field camera with the cheapo vinyl covering made to look like wood. Based on pictures I've seen elsewhere, I think I got the SP version (it has a knob to control back swing movements). However, what I can't figure out is a way to control the front swing - the camera I have does not have a way to accomplish this. Does anybody have the same camera? I know the modern SP/VX is specs - have 15 degree front swings but my camera doesn't, or am I missing something? Either way, I don't use front swings much if any at all (at least I have back swings) but I'm curious.
Here's (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7543538461&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEFS%3AIT&rd=1) the pictures, **My camera is in better shape than what's shown but it's the same camera.
