    Re: Calumet Cameras??

    Contrary to popular belief, the CC-402 will take a 65mm lense on a flat board. I've used one on mine many times even with some movements.

    Re: 4x10 or 5x12?? Anyone shooting these??

    I shoot 4x10 because of the fact you can cut 8x10 film in half. I also have a 10x10 enlarger and make 8x20 prints.
