I'd not shot 4x5 in decade at least and never had shot very much of it at all.
I felt like i was learning how to use these rubber tanks and racks but i had
done it before way back.

My Camera is a Calumet Cambo NX (made in Holland!?) and my only lens is a 210
Fujinon. Both of which i got new from Calumet about 15 years ago.
On the Fujinon Calumet at the time they had Fujinon mainly Nikon and Fujinon and
both the same price.
At the time i was aware Avedon was using Fujinon so Fujinon did not sound so bad
when they said they were out of Nikon 210's. I slightly regretted that later.
The lens does not make me want to sing and dance it will be gone from me someday
soon and my system of 4x5 glass I anticipate being mainly JSK: Schneider

The Cambo NX has an amazing amount of swings and tilts and shifts all
ridiculously numbered.
I'm looking for a field camera wood or Technical metal to shoot 4x5 for most things.
My thumbnails will be clickable in a few hours.
