View Full Version : Folding Focusing hood for Canham DLC ?
Is there a folding focusing hood for the Canham DLC 45?
I don't see one on the canham site.
Has anyone made a custom one?

How much of a lip is there behind the GG, and what are the measurements of the opening? (The Toyo folding hood might work, if you can drill holes for the pins.)
hey ralph...
I have a toyo hood and tried to measure this up.
The toyo hood is too big.

From here: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/canham/canhamdlc.html, a review by Michael Mutmansky.
"Cambo viewing accessories are said to fit the back of the camera. I purchased a Cambo folding viewing hood recently so that I can leave my focus hood at home when out backpacking. It didn't quite fit properly, but I was able to modify the frame on the hood to fit (thanks to a rotary tool, a high speed steel bit, the soft cast aluminum frame material, and a little ingenuity). If you don't have the tools, you won't be able to get the folding hood to fit. I make this statement assuming it wasn't a manufacturing defect in the Cambo hood that was the source of the problem."
The review includes a photo of the modified Cambo folding hood on a DLC.
