Does anyone have any info on how well (or otherwise) the metal Canham cameras function in use? They look well specced on 'paper'. Thanks.

which looks and performs well. I have a wooden 5x7 and can't recommend it highly enough!

Thanks. They are rare S/H tho. Dennis

Dennis,
general consensus on Canham cameras (esp. the metal ones) on various forums (fori?) is that they are well designed, specced and built. I unfortunately haven't seen one life, so I can't comment much better, but you might try to do a search on www.largeformatphotography.info which has a larger user base than we have here. Folks there are generally quite helpful and Ihave seen quite a few positive comments regarding Canhams.

That would be fora, Marc

ah, the good old neuter plural but is it nominative or dative case?

Ablative surely, as there is no movement with regard to location. Therefore foris. Unless you wish to use a preposition followed by the dative or accusative. Excuse the tetratrichotomy.

Could somebody please translate all this grammatical gobbledygook into something a bear of little brain could understand ?

Carter! Pay attention at the back! This is a quality forum - you're no longer apud APUGem.

Hmmm tetratrichotomy eh? I had an uncle who had one of those. Very painful by all accounts.

Tetra - four

Trichotomy - a three way dichotomy

So does that mean 12 choices, 43 choices, or just a word that cannot be found in Wikipedia

Oh, and I could find apud but not apugem

Hello Dennis,

Robert White often has a Canham metal camera in stock. Have you spoken to them? Maybe they are not too far away from you?

I have a Canham but it is wooden.

Regards

Barry

Thanks Barry, I can't afford a new one! Am keeping an eye out for s/h one. Dennis
