Why choose 4x5?
4x5 is an amazing format. The film comes in sheets that are much larger than your standard 35mm roll film.
13x bigger in fact! The larger negative size brings an incredible amount of clarity and depth to your images. When shot correctly, the tones are much richer and the quality far superior to even the best full-frame digital cameras. Large format photography is also one of the most rewarding forms of photography, there is nothing quite like getting out in the field, relaxing and taking your time to create that perfect image.
If you're already shooting medium format or 35mm, the jump to 4x5 is easy! The Intrepid 4x5 is the perfect introduction to this wonderful world - light, compact and affordable. And for the experienced large-format photographer, the Intrepid 4x5 offers maximum versatility without compromising on quality.

Three Woods, One Camera
Every Hardwood camera is cut from a single piece of timber, so no two are the same. Here's how our three woods compare, and how each one changes as it's used.
Cherry
A soft pinkish tan with a fine, smooth, satiny grain.
- Hardness
- Density
- Grain contrast
- Colour change
Over time: Deepens to a rich reddish brown, with most of the change in the first months.
Beech
Pale and creamy with a tight, even grain and tiny flecks.
- Hardness
- Density
- Grain contrast
- Colour change
Over time: Barely changes, picking up a faint honey tone.
Colours are illustrative. Wood is natural, so every camera's colour and grain will be a little different.
