FS: Cambo 5x4 Bellows

I have a bellows that came with some Cambo Lensboards so I assume it's Cambo too.

I know nothing about LF, but it looks like a light leak. Are you sure that that combination of movements is not exposing a leak in the bellows or at the top of the lens board? You could try setting it up like that and checking for light leaks on the GG with the shutter closed, I guess you wouldn't n...

Celebrity Landscape Photographers

Saw Cornish and Ward on BBC Breakfast this morning - in Whitby.

David Ward can't be a proper photographer though because he doesn't use an Ebony.
