    Calumet CC series reflex finder?

    I have a beautiful CC 402 wide angle camera. When I use the camera, sometimes I like to place one of my Cambo viewers against the back to view things right side up. It works but I'm trying to figure out a way to attach the finder. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to do this.

    well that will be fun BUT anyway you will have to hinge it to the lift so you can swing it out of the way to use the bail to put the film holder in!! I have two cc402 was thinking about putting a Graflock back on one of them

    hey you got me to thanking so I got down my Reflex hood & the cc402
    to take a look
    HOW about this one at radioshack you can get small Nylon cable camps
    Put them on the bail & screw them to the Reflex hood
    then pull away from the lift then open with the bail like aiways it will hang
    on to the bail // or hinging on the bail
    with a total cost of less then a BUCK

    Good idea banjo. Since the Cambo viewer is not heavy, I have some simple velcro ideas. Ed, the 402 is a really great camera for wide angle work, not heavy at all. I have two 402 models. Actually, you can use them with lenses up to 150 in the field, and probably even with tele lenses, though I have not personally used tele lenses with my 402. I wish they (Calumet) would have made a reflex viewer for the camera, since it was (the full CC line 400,401,402 ,403) such a popular camera line. They are, in my opinion, one of the best deals out there in 4x5 monorails.

    yes they {cc400, cc401, cc402} are stronger then the Calumet // combo SC!!!!
    I sold my cambo NX {{like new}} junk!!! but I still have a SC but if I go out to shoot it wont be with the cambo SC junk!!
    it would be with one of the cc400, cc401, cc402!!!!

    anyway the cc402 is about 7 lbs with no lens
    cambo SC 8lbs with no lens
    a GRAFLEX GRAPHIC VIEW II is 8 lbs with no lens

    Kodak Masterview // Calumet cc400s // ok for the orbit too

    I don't have anything better to do today
    so been looking I have a 1957 CC manual it has all 3 the CC400, 401 & the 402
    has all 3 BUT the bellows on the 402 & the frount standered are different then they
    are in my 1957 manual !! as in 1957 the manual says the only difference being in length of the bellows & the monorail

    http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/calumet_3.html is a 1965 manual
    it only has the CC400 & cc401
    http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/calumet_1.html 1965 catloge
    same thing
    http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/calumet_2.html 1970 catloge

    But in the 1970 catloge it has a special soft short bellows & a Recessed Frount standered with no need of a Recessed lensboard 47mm upto 165mm normal lens

    Thanks for the info banjo. I was using the 402 today. I noticed the Cambo finder fits right up against the two little tabs that secure the ground glass. I'm thinking I may be able to come up with something using little rubber blocks.
