This lensless, medium format camera from Mottweiler Studio is among the finest examples of the traditional camera maker's art as practiced today. Sign up for the e-newsletter on this site for updates and further details or visit the store to place your order.

A hybrid construction technique utilizes bent cross laminations of ropey figured Cherry wood to form the curved front and back panels of this design. Solid, quarter-sawn Cherry wood is used to form the top and bottom panels. This front view of the camera reveals the visual elegance and simplicity of the design. The black anodized aluminum shutter can be seen in the center of the P.90's front panel. The brass film advance knob and shutter knob are also visible.

• The P.90 film compartment is accessed with a removable back panel. A safety latch keeps the back in place when the camera is loaded with film.
• The P.90 uses standard, daylight-loading 120 roll film available in a wide variety of color and black & white emulsions.
• A specially constructed red window for film advance is light safe and allows the frame numbers to be seen under normal lighting conditions.
• The thin profile of the P.90 camera is easy on the hands and makes the camera easy to stow away in a bag or case when not in use.

The P.90 is quite effective when you place it right in the middle of the action. Whether it be nestled among the silver and glassware on the dinner table or staking out a cat's eye view among the garden flowers, this camera loves to work close to its subjects. The nearly infinite depth-of-field means that the nearest blade of grass and the most distant cloud will be rendered with equal emphasis.

The top view of the camera reveals the film wind knob, the shutter knob and the safety latch for the camera back. A pair of engraved lines in the top of the camera indicate the lateral field of view for a quick check of the chosen composition. You will also find our logo and the camera's moniker etched along with the latch knob positions.
