Hi,
I recently obtained a new camera, the acquiring was less than smooth, I think it was my worst transaction ever, but all is well now (probably only interesting for dutch people: via Marktplaats: verkoper "Kees"(C Sassen) uit Goirle: zou het niet doen, voor meer info: stuur me een PM).
Ok what is it: it's huge, clunky, not pretty and HEAVY: fully equipped its 12 kg ! (And I thought that my Toyo Field 810M was heavy). Anyway it's clearly restricted to studio work, for which I bought it. It replaces a Calumet c400. I always wanted a nicely geared machine, and Sinar out of my league (that might change, seeing the recent prices) I ended up with this beast. It's actually fully compatible with Sinar stuff (belows, lens board, back etc.).
It's actually made in my own country, in a small city were also Cambo is made: Kampen, The Netherlands. INKA stands for INstruments factory KAmpen. I can not find any further information on this camera. So if there is any info on this camera, please share.
I'll start with a question (everything else seems quite straightforward): on the "raise"bar there are 2 marks, both with their indents/null positions: one inscribed in white, and one in green, they are 9 mm apart: I do not understand the function of it: hope that below image will clarify:
91030
And now some of the whole thing:
91031
91032
Next post 2 more..
Best,
Cor
