  • Profile: Originated From Their Former Company, Musashino Optics Who Manufactured Rittreck Sp (6x9 Single-lens Reflex),rittreck 6 (6x6 Single-lens Reflex), Rittreck View (5x7 Technical Compact) Shanel Shutter And Sinox Enlarger. From 1968 To 1972 Musashino Had Been Separated Into A Manufacturing And A Sales Company, Rittreck Trading Co. Because Of Trouble With Lens Maker For Rittreck 6, Musashino Closed And Rittreck Trading Co. Became Both Maker And Seller Of The Cameras, Except Rittreck 6. Taking The Opportunity Of Developing Wista 45 (4x5 Technical Compact Camera) In 1972,the Name Of The Company Was Changed To Wista Company, Ltd. Since Then All Products Have Been Unified Under The Wista Brand And Design Dedicated To Professional Photographic Equipment And Accessories. At Present,the Following Products Are Being Supplied. 3 Models Of 4x5 Technical Compact Cameras,wooden Field Cameras, Monorail View Camera, 4 Models Of Multi-lens Cameras For Id, 3 Models Of Rollfilm Holders,10 Models Of Studio Stands For Cameras,wooden Tripod, Various Accessories For Tele/close Up And Wide Angle Photography As Well As Various Magnifiers And Photo Finishing Equipment And Material. 6x9 Single-lens Reflex,the Only Domestic-made With Focal Plane Shutter,tb,1/2-1/500 Sec Luminant Brand Lenses 92-400mm Were Available Reversible Winding Of Rollfilm Holder To Maintain Flatness Of Film, So Dark Room Works Was Required. Frost-proof Camera Was Used By The South Pole Survey Team. Large Format Is Attractive, Why Is It Required? This Is Not Only Because Of The Larger Picture Produced. The Picture Quality Of Large Format Negatives Are Superior To And Incomparable With Those Of Medium And Compact Cameras Due To Improved Definition And Sharpness, Less Grain And Improved Tonal Range. Large Format Negatives With Their Greater Amount Of Information Can Show Objects In More Detail Especially In Printing And When Making Large Size Prints. Now, With The Availability Of Super Fine Grain Films, It Is Said That 35mm Films Can Meet All Requirements. However The Same Brands Of Super Fine Grain Films Are Sold For Large Format Cameras So The Same Improvement Will Still Be Obtained. The Same Thing Can Be Said For Digital Camera Photography Unless The Basic Concept Of The Ccd Information Per Unit Area Is Overruled, The Optical Photograph Will Continue To Maintain Its Dominating Position. Wista Have A Range Of Lenses Called Wistar Which Are Made Not Only For Use With Wista Cameras But Also For Other Makes Of Camera. There Is No General Concept With Large Format Cameras That Lenses Can Only Be Used With One Make. Exclusive Lenses Are Only Required With Rangefinder Cameras. It Has Long Been The Custom To Construct Large Format Cameras So That The Lens And Shutter Are A Separate Unit Mounted On A Lensboard Which Is A Component Part Of A Modular Camera Concept. As Most Lensboards Are Compatible With Other Cameras With Different Size Lensboards By Means Of An Adaptor.
