Everything about View camera
Large-format camera
A view camera is a large-format camera. View cameras were originally analog cameras in which the lens forms an inverted image on a ground-glass screen directly at the film plane. The image is viewed, composed, and focused, then the glass screen is replaced with the film to expose exactly the same image seen on the screen. In 2019, digital view cameras became available.
