This unique combination... and their complete range of professional accessories — makes them sound investments in your photographic future — whether you plan commercial, illustrative, architectural, industrial, portrait, still life, or other critical applications.
The Omega View 45F adds to the extensive capabilities of the 45E a convenient, built-in revolving back for ultimate composing freedom, and provision for use with-special wide angle bellows.
