Instruction Manual for Calumet Cadet

[gchu1970]

I bought a Calumet Cadet from ebay. But I don't have an instruction

manual. Could any one help to provide one, in electronic version

perferably?

You might try contacting Calumet, perhaps they could furnish one.

 

Do you need instructions for this specific model of camera? Or view cameras in general? If the latter, I'd suggest looking for "Using the View Camera" by Steve Simmons, a very informative and clearly written book.

I have a Cadet and if you can call a single sheet of paper a manual, then it's a manual. Stephen is right, getting a good book would be so much more helpful.

One nice thing about the Cadet is its simplicity. Just playing with the controls will teach you as much if not more than the supplied "manual." Have fun with it and pay attention to what happens on the ground glass when you adjust the controlls.

I agree with the others. A book like Using the View Camera by Steve Simmons is what you need. Typically, large format equipment comes with minimal instructions, if any. I think the "instructions" I got for my Toho may have been in Japanese. Uusually there is very little to figure out. The Cadet is specially simple.

Great thanks to your suggestion. I think it's better to have a more comprehensive instruction and more practice.
