I ordered from Calumet a lens shade mounting block for my Calumet C-1 8x10 camera. Jose in the parts dept. is about the nicest person you could ever want to deal with, and he said he found what I needed and would send it to me. UPS came today, and when I opened the package, I was surprised to see something that looked nothing like the mounting block in the pictures I've seen.
Attached is a picture of the assembly that I recieved.
The 2 wire bales are each 8" long with two 1" bends. The thin plate is 1.5" by 6" and has 2 holes and 2 slots. The thick plate is 6" by 1" and has one central hole tapped for 1/4-20 threads, 2 grooves on the far edges with silver clamping screws next to them, and 2 grooves near the center, but on the other side. None of the holes line up between the thin and thick plates.
Does anybody know what this thing is, how it goes together, or if it will even work with my camera?
If it isn't what I need, PM me if you want it.
