I was able to order the part by contacting Cambo in Holland by email. They connected me to a US distributer, who connected me to a US dealer (Capture Integration in Atlanta). Total bill with shipping...

I don't have any personal knowledge. If I was in your situation I would contact Cambo in Holland by email. They are still in business and may have the parts you need. There might be an authorized USA...

I have a Cambo SF which would be like new except for a broken plastic part (Rise/Fall lock). I noticed that you wrote a review on this camera in 2006 that is on the LFP forum website.

Here is a...

This is all great advice! I don't expect to get much for the 4x5 view camera and will likely split up the gear. I especially like the idea of offering a discount to buy all the gear together. I will...

About 8 years ago I purchased a used Cambo 4x5 view camera with rail, 2 lenses and related gear. I used the gear for a short time but now wish to sell it. What is the best strategy for doing that? ...

Yep, its a telephoto. Says so on the outside barrel of the lens. Also the maximum aperture reads f4.7 but it says 5.6 on the outside barrel of the lens.

Regarding coverage, the lens appears to...

I own a Wollensak 8" f4.7 Raptar Telephoto. I bought it several years ago to use with a Century Graphic. It covers the 6x7 and 6x9 formats of this camera fine.

I recently bought a Cambo 4x5...

Indeed, a wonderful first gathering of regional LF photographers! I will be sending out a list with contact information that was provided at our meeting.

I performed the test that you suggested using my 150mm lens, I examined the 4x5 film under a loupe:

1 - The center and the right side of the horizon is a bit sharper when stopped down.

2 - The...

I don't recall if anyone has listed the website for Kleb Woods Park:

I have an old Wollensak 8" 5.6 Raptar Telephoto lens housed in a Graphex shutter (made by Wollensak for Graflex). I bought it several years ago to use with a Century Graphic. I covers the 6x7 and 6x9...

Thanks for the good advice. Handy as I consider myself, I will hire a more skilled handyman.

I have an old Wollensak 8" 5.6 Raptar Telephoto lens housed in a Graphex shutter (made by Wollensak for Graflex). The shutter worked a few years ago but has become quite stuck. I can get it to...

Thanks to all for your tips and encouragement. Its a journey AND an adventure!

I tested for light leaks both on the bellows and around the front & rear standards. I found no leaks. My equipment, although used, is in very good condition (bought it from KEH). The shutters on both...

Kleb Woods and 9am as a start time sounds OK with me.

Wayne - Thanks for you reply to my post "Testing a Used Camera and Lenses". I left a message to continue that thread.

I'm in, and may invite a friend.

Oh goodie, I've been trying to apply the Schleimpflug principle after reading about it in my new book on "Using the...

I recently purchases a used LF 4x5 monorail camera (Cambo 45SF) and 2 lenses:
(90mm F6.8 Rodenstock Grandagon MC and a 150mm F5.6 Caltar II-N MC). Both lenses are in Copal 0 shutters.

I am pretty...

Wow! Amazing what my little post has prompted! The dates discussed (Feb 21 & Mar 7) work for me too.

Paul - Last year I inquired about the release of the Dmax so I would be interested in seeing...

Count me in for a Houston LF gathering! Hey, just the show & tell will be a learning experience. I'm doing some other research myself on available LF workshops and will report back when I have more...

I am fairly new to LF and owner of a new LF 4x5 monorail camera. I am looking for a LF Workshop in Texas. Or, perhaps a neably state where Southwest Airlines flys (ie. New Mexico, Arizona). My goal...

Based on the helpful suggestions & opinions of many of you on this forum I have an order pending for 2 lenses which seems to be priced fairly. I selected a normal and wide angle lens also from KEH. I...

Based on the helpful suggestions & opinions of many of you on this forum I have an order PENDING at KEH for the following used equipment which seems to be priced fairly:

4x5 Cambo 45 SF Camera ...

I like your comparison Frank! This helps a beginner like me without getting technical. If I was shopping cars, I would probable get the BMW. But I already know how to drive a car. A LF camera is a...

Thank you for your all your replies. I am considering a 150 f5.6 NIkkor-W in a copal #0 shutter. I hope this will provide a large enough image circle for both 4x5 and 6x9.

The cheaper & plentiful accessories are a useful consideration. However, I don't know how long I will own the camera before I decide to upgrade to another type. I guess I'm thinking of this LF camera...

Indeed, I do type faster than I think! What I MEANT to say was that the price difference between the cameras was NOT a huge issue for me.

I am comparing 2 different "entry level" 4x5 cameras. I say "entry level" because I am shopping for my first LF camera after many years of 35mm SLR photography. I shoot landscapes and some...

I currently own a medium format Century Graphic, 2 lenses (101mm Kodak Ektar and an 8" Wollensack Raptor) that I use with a 6x9 Graflex back. Neither of these are probably very good lenses but the...

I am buying my first 4x5 monorail camera and my first lens. Since my initial goal is to photograph City Skylines I wish to get a lens that would be good for this purpose. From my experience, a...

Thank you for the great advice! I really don't plan to take the camera backpacking so a Cambo-Calumet monorail would be fine and affordable for my 1st LF camera.

I am trying to decide on my first LF camera. I shoot mostly landscape and some architecture.

I really like the convenience of roll film and the 6x9 format. On the other hand there are occasions...

I took off the rangefinder shortly after I got the Century Graphic and focused on the ground glass. I found this difficult on sunny days with the lens wide open even with the pop-out shade mechanism....

As for the Century - are you using the rangefinder? If so, are you sure the rangefinder is calibrated to either of the lenses (it won't be calibrated to both). Have you tried focusing using the...

Hi Jerold - I will have privilages to access the For Sale section of the LF Forum in about a week. I read in a post that there are several listed there. By the way, I started college at UW Stevens...

I am a new member of the forum and I am shopping for my first serious LF camera. My large format experience is very limited compared many of the posters on this forum. I shoot landscapes and some...
