The '''TWR 54''' is a view camera for 4x5-inch film. It was made by the Dutch company [[Cambo]] from 1972.<ref>[https://www.cambo.com/en/about-cambo/product-history/ Product history] at [https://www.cambo.com/en/ Cambo].</ref> Cambo describe the camera as a [[TLR|twin-lens reflex]], but it has no internal mirror. The camera comprises two parallel bellows, one carrying the 'viewing' or focusing lens and the other the 'taking' lens. A ground-glass screen is fitted to the rear of one bellows, and the dark-slide holder to the other. The ground glass can be swapped for a reflex viewer, allowing the image to be viewed in a vertical eyepiece. This can be rotated on the camera for pictures in vertical orientation.<ref>[http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?112184-Cambo-TWR-54-4x5-Twin-Lens-Reflex-(like-Gowlandflex)-Question Description of TWR 54 serial no. 3] at the [http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/ Large Format Photography Forum]: posts including several pictures of the camera and reflex viewer.</ref>
