    Thank you! It’s been a fun build. I just need to get a fresnel now and make a cold shoe holder for my wireless strobe trigger. I’m hoping to shoot next weekend finally.

    Not to be a complete idiot, but what did you build? I ask because y'r post #3460 above shows what looks like a bog standard Calumet badged Cambo SC. Good camera well-worth showing off but pretty much as delivered. What did I miss?

    I suppose I should post some pix of SC, which is somewhat modified.

    Maybe "build" is the incorrect term for this forum? I'm use to Jeep forums where replacing stock parts is called a build even if its minimal.

    So far on the Cambo, I replaced the standard ground glass for a brighter screen, cut a few lens boards for various lenses that I don't believe came standard with a Cambo, attached a tape measure along the rail for easy bellows measurements. Soon to add a cold shoe, Fresnel screen, and make a single cord for my wireless trigger instead of using three different connectors. I didn't make any of the pieces by hand but they've been replaced or pieced together. It's been fun either way

    Thanks for the clarification.

    FWIW, new view cameras are usually sold without lenses and lens boards. They're normally sold with backs, and the backs usually contain a focusing panel. The purchaser supplies both. Used cameras are often sold fully equipped and ready to use.

    When your fresnel arrives, make sure to put it behind the ground glass. That's between the gg and you. If you put it in front of the gg, the gg will be out of register with the film holder, not a good thing.

    Great to know, thank you!

    Final version of my "Sinar Norma Handy" built from Norma original parts plus some others of my own creation. Took it to the local botanical "crystal palace" a month ago and fired off eighteen sheets in an afternoon. Indeed very "handy". They named it right.

    This camera attracts a lot of attention when I go out with it.

    My wife and I were in Ottawa the first week of January 2003; -40 degrees. Brrrrrrr, very, very cold for a native Southern Californian. We were there 5 days; business trip for the wife, lucky me, I was able to accompany her. Howard Tanger

    Here is my " new" Seneca 5 x12 - almost. It is new as I just finished building it. It is a "Seneca - almost" as I used hardware from a Seneca 5 x 7 mostly. The springs are Deardorff. Seneca never made this format so I believe it is the only 5 x12 Seneca.
