For the 5x7 format, Chamonix produces 3 models: 57N, 57Fs-2, and 57W-d. The 57N is a horizontal-only model for photography in landscape orientation. The 57Fs-2 and 57W-d models have convertible backs for photography in either landscape or portrait orientation.
The cameras in the 57 series are made with teak. (Note that walnut and maple are no longer available)
The metal parts–front/rear standards and small parts–are painted black to complement the color of the carbon fiber components of the camera.
