The legendary Calumet C1 camera is a versatile and easy to use LF system. Excellent, original finish and Calumet's newer style, nylon bellows. Lots of movement, huge bellows draw, easy to fold and carry with everything you need (in the studio or in the field). The all metal construction makes this camera very solid and rigid, but also extremely durable and reliable.
