I am trying to locate used accessories and get lens selection advice for a used Cambo SC-1 2X3 view camera. I recently purchased this camera "bare bones" on eb ay. This camera is in excellent condition. The camera would be mainly used for real estate/architectural photography.
I have contacted Calumet camera and was stunned by the cost of the roll film bac k ($480), the focusing ground glass ($80), and lens. All prices quoted are for new items.
I planned to use the camera for real estate/architectural photography. As I do not have a 4X5 enlarger I thought the roll film back would be more economical co st wise and I could do the enlargements at home with my 6X7 englarger. I would a ppreciate any advice on outfitting this camera as inexpensively as possible.
If I am unable to afford the accessories/lens etc. I will have to sell or donate the camera to a local college or photo school.
Thank you for any help you might provide.
