Canham metal cameras

[dennis]

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

[CarlRadford]

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

[dennis]

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.

... on various forums (fori?)

That would be fora, Marc

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

[Charles Twist]

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 ?

[Charles Twist]

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.

[Joanna Carter]

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
