Help with finding a Calumet C1 camera

[jesse_kramer]

Friends,

 

I am trying to find a Calumet C1 8x10 camera in decent shape

 

I have already tried the usual suspects, ebay ( I have a search notification

function in place), Midwest Photo, Brooklyn camera

 

If any of you have any hot leads please pass them to me

 

I am NOT looking for suggestions about alternatives, I am not new to 8x10, I am

looking for this specific camera as an addition to my photographic arsenal

 

thanks in advance,

Their web site is not real helpful but they have a ton of LF stuff in stock and I suspect they will have at least one around. I was just there last week and was very impressed with what I saw.

Mark,

 

Although I did not mention Quality Camera, I have already tried them... no luck

I take it you don't like ebay? I'm not familiar with the nauances of the Calumet/Cambo line but FWIW there's an 8x10 Calumet of some kind on ebay now.

in my initial posting I wrote the following

 

"I have already tried the usual suspects, ebay ( I have a search notification function in place")

 

I love Ebay, and I have an ongoing search in place

I remember seeing one in a Phoenix camera store in the last few months. It would have been either at Photomark (602-244-1133, ask for Rod) or Tempe Camera (480-966-6954).

No luck at Photomark or Tempe Camera

Would you be interested in a C3 in very good shape? I have one which I no longer need since I replaced it with a field camera. The C3 is a big unbeautiful machine, but it works well. - Robert Hogan - rchogan@comcast.net
