Intrepid 4x5 / 5x7 Dark Cloth Blue

Product Description

While not necessarily an essential piece of kit, we highly recommend investing in a good quality dark cloth; it will make focusing and framing much more comfortable and quicker to do.
If you are shooting outside in daylight, the light will make it very hard to see what you are composing without a dark cloth. The dark cloth acts as a shade to allow you to view the ground glass clearly, so you can be sure you are getting super sharp focus every time. Think of it as equivalent to looking through a viewfinder on a 35mm camera or using the focus hood on a waist-level viewfinder.
Of course, you can improvise with a blanket, coat or any large piece of material, but having a dedicated dark cloth will make things much more manageable. Intrepid dark cloths feature a drawstring to be fastened to your camera, so they will stay attached even if you are outside in breezy conditions.

These custom Intrepid dark cloths are hand-produced in Washington, USA, by Wanderer. Each designed to match seamlessly with the bellows colour of your Intrepid 4x5 or 5x7 camera.
Made from hand-selected thick cotton with a smooth black twill interior to block out as much light as possible. Each dark cloth also features an elastic drawstring to secure it neatly around your camera, so no need to hold it in place or worry about it blowing off in the wind.
Care is put into every detail of the cloths, from the material choice to the hand-embroidered Intrepid logo in the bottom corner.
Dimensions: 91cm x 122cm (36"" x 48"")
