Layton Camera Proudly Announces
The All-Aluminum L-45A

Based on the award-winning,* patented L-1, the new L-45A 4x5 field camera is even sleeker, more compact, lighter weight, and more full-featured than the original!

         "As full-featured, precise, and luxurious an instrument as was the original L-1, I realized that this camera ultimately had to be fabricated out of metal - specifically aluminum alloys - for a greater strength to weight ratio, better and more predictable performance, and an even higher degree of precision and consistency in manufacture."        - John Layton

With over 24 inches of bellows extension, a full complement of front and rear swings, tilts (axial and base), shifts, rise and fall adjustments, and a host of other thoughtful features - like horizontally opposed spring-loaded lensboard and filmback attachments, non-coaxial (non-binding) focus locks, separate front rise/fall-axial tilt locks, cancelable front and rear detents, front and rear focus controls, plus a locking rear-standard slider for maximum compression with the optional bag bellows, the L-45A field camera offers nearly unlimited flexibility.   Furthermore, the L-45A's unique and innovative design concept presents an inherently intuitive and user-friendly platform - facilitating a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the photographer, regardless of skill level.
