Kodak Master View 4x5?

[r._watts1]

I've seen ads for the Kodak Master View 4x5, is this similar (except

for size), to the Kodak Master View 8x10, i.e., similar design, movements, etc.?

Not even close.

The Kodak Master Camera 8 X 10 (often erroneously called the Master

View) is like a metal cross between a Deardorff and a Century

Universal, it is a field camera. (although it works just fine in the

studio and was advertised as being perfect for that purpose)

The Kodak Masterview is a 4 X 5 monorail and the grandaddy of the

Calumet CC monorail series. It was used by architectural

photographer Julius Schulman, among others. It has geared front

rise, front shift, front swing & tilt on axis and rear axis swing and

tilt. I think it has rear shift, but can't recall for sure.
