I've rented a bunch of animals over the years, mostly domestic types...dogs/cats. I once needed to rent a very unusual frog. IIRC, the rates were somewhere in the 2-300 per day with a handler for...

Good deal Martin. I've worked in LF for so long that when I have any other kind of camera in front of me, it simply doesn't feel *right*...and I end up wishing that I had camera movements.

All...

Good luck Martin. I've had the 23 for a few years now and also use it with a Leaf back. Great camera, rock solid, and I really like the sliding back. Don't know if you're aware, but Cambo has a...

I don't have first hand experience, but many of my clients use on-line storage of high res photography. I do a lot of food packaging and my clients have found on-line storage a convenient way of...

I use what I think is a Pro Studex with a geared center column and a heavy Gitzo pan/tilt head. Not a lightweight by any streatch, but can go pretty high, or down to almost ground level (if I replace...

Depending on the back, dis-assembly is pretty easy. I've always taken a couple of old clips (the metal strip on the bottom of a Polaroid film sheet) put them down inside the holder (where the film...

Sometimes the metal tab at the end of the Polaroid doesn't engage in the clip. This can happen for a few reasons...A few things to check- is there an old tab lodged in the holder? This has happened...

Polaroid photography is much more. It is the artistic medium of choice for artists, educators and commercial photographers who rely on Polaroid films in an abundance of creative and innovative ways. ...

Haven't touched one since I went digital a few years ago. Prior to that I was a heavy user, buying T59 and T54 by the case in 4X5 and 8X10 (889). I used it for proofing prior to going to film. Was...

"For what it's worth"...in other words, I was just agreeing with your assumption that using your meter through a filter would effectively incorporate the filter factor...but wanted to make clear the...

Have you added in a bellows factor?

FWIW, you are correct in thinking that if you meter through the filter you've already included the filter factor...all things being equal. Reflected reading...

I've had a number of mono-rail cameras over the last 30 years and two areas that I always appreciated and looked for was locking geared movements (....and as many as I could get!) and rigidity of the...

Just an FYI in the event that anyone is a student...CS3 is roughly $290.00 at most college bookstore/software centers. Not upgradable and license is for only one machine.

+1 for the Speedotrons. I've spent 30 years working with the same packs and heads and they've been a great all around workhorse. When I went digital I'd been led to beieve that they wern't consistent...

I've always carried a spare GG and <<<looking for wood to knock on>>> have never needed it...yet!

I try to double on on anything that if it were to fail would put an immediate end to my ability to...

My 23 is much smaller than the full sized Ultima. I don't know the exact weight, and mine is usually mounted on a studio stand. When I do remove it for location work, it goes onto a very heavy Gitzo...

FWIW...I have an Ultima (the 23 which I use with a Leaf back). Very well made with geared movements all around. I use mine in the studio and only occasionally on location. I've owned a few...

Thanks for the further clarifications.

I should start calling my keys "waterhouse Stops" as they are often lost also:)

I'm thinking as I read these answers how great the internet is for...

Thanks Tim. Don't really have an interest in older cameras per se...but always enjoy looking.

In the meantime I've been trying to find my Calumet catlaog from 1970 ish. Was hoping to post the page...

Thanks for the link Gordon...fascinating stuff and I learned a thing or two or three!

Not the least was the term "Waterhouse stops". In addition to being a full time studio photographer, I've...

Thanks David-that helps me to understand this "newfangled" concept!

Thanks...so presumably, these whole/half/quarter plate dimensions are film sizes with specific holders and cameras? Is film available in these dimensions or is it cut down from more standard sheet...

New forumite trying to figure outsome of the vocabulary used on these pages. "Whole Plate" camera for instance... the search function only yields threads where it's discussed without describing what...

With the exceptions that it can't be upgraded and that it's only single user license (one machine). Still though, it's a terrific bargain.

Thanks for the quick reply Tim. I've already searched eBay...no luck finding any completed sales. Will check to see what if any info is available at KEH (which I was unaware of...)

This camera has...

Hi all. First post here...stumbled across the forum while trying to reasearch a camera I'm looking to sell, Cambo Master.

I'm a commercial food photographer and used this camera for a few years...
