Capture breathtaking detail with the Topcon Horseman 985, a legendary Japanese technical press camera designed for the demanding field photographer. This versatile masterwork bridges the gap between handheld speed and large-format precision. It shoots the expansive, high-resolution 2.25 x 3.25" (6x9 cm) medium format layout, yielding negatives over five times larger than standard 35mm film.
Pairing it with the razor-sharp Topcor 105mm f/3.5 standard lens provides a natural, human-eye perspective ideal for landscapes, environmental portraits, and architectural studies.
