Hi,
Yesterday, I borrowed a Calumet C-1 8x10 camera and some film holders from a friend of mine to play with for a while, and I went to Freestyle during my lunch hour today and came back with a box of 8x10 Arista.Edu 400. I am all ready to go, but have a lens problem.
My friend had a No. 3 lensboard for the camera, but all of my lenses that cover 8x10 are in No. 1 shutters. I am thinking about fashioning some makeshift boards from thin sheets of modelmaker's plywood. This solution has been mentioned by others on this forum for use on other cameras.
Has anyone tried plywood for use on a C-1? The aluminum board is designed to fit into a stepped opening in the front standard. Will a flat board work? I would appreciate it if any C-1 users have come up with a home made solution.
Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!
