The Wista 45 is a 4x5 large-format field camera made by Wista of Japan, designed for view-camera work with sheet film. It is a folding metal-bodied technical camera aimed at landscape and studio photographers who need movements in a portable package.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Wista 45 have ranged from around £230 to £940, with a median near £730 in recent saleroom results. The market in 2026 is condition-sensitive: clean, fully working examples with intact bellows and smooth movements sell for considerably more than worn bodies, which is why the value spread is so wide.
