- Calumet Photographic video tape from 1986. This video was produced to correct the misconceptions and remove the mystique from large format photography. **Copyright music was removed with the Beta tool from Google.
a good video., this is something that should never disappear!
Old tapes (and the information) are disappearing. The main reason these are uploaded to CZcams when they are found. Glad you enjoyed the video.
One of the best videos found on Large Format Camera movements and focus. Keep up the great work! Thanks for preserving such old and valuable information.
this is genuinely the most straightforward introduction I've seen to tilt, shift and swing at 17:06
I am back in 1970 High School, cool video and still good.
“First day on the job... is this a 70’s porno with bad sound...?"
I bought my first 4x5" view camera and lens from Calumet in 1975. It is too bad the company is not going strong. They used to manufacture their own view cameras and sell them direct to the customer. Later they got into the photo retail business. In the video they used the Cambo which we used in school. I miss the 4x5 format, maybe some day I will buy one again. The old Calumet cameras both 4x5 and 8x10 were all metal and rock steady, I used both. The old Calumet did not have a back rise and fall like shown on the Cambo, only a rising and falling front, but they were very well built and made in America and very economical.
I recently acquired a medium format Kawa from my father in-law. I hope to put it to work and try my hand at developing the film. Would love to get a hold of a large format camera someday.
This video beats every other video I’ve seen on the topic.
Brilliant and most informative. Thank you
This was amazing! Glad this was made, explains a lot in a little amount of time!
Good Video, and thanks for posting.
so lovely to see
thank you
great video, and HEED what is said about the polaroid, at $15-00 Australian per shot, quite expensive, so be carefull.
hilarious and informative.
on a more serious note i was sad to show up at the Calumet store downtown to get my camera cleaned...and the whole company had gone bankrupt and closed up shop.
This is excellent. Well done! I am considering using a view camera with a digital back as the next step up. This helps. I would love a deardorf or an ebony but will use what I can afford. :)
the narrator made the "hey, that's pretty good!" quote even before idubbz made it popular haha
srsly though this is a piece of information that should not be lost in time
What a rare gem. Hah.
Great story
This is like watching one of those bad acting Sex Ed tapes from H.S.
Good for starters.
although hilarious (not sure if it was meant to be) this is actually a very informative video.
The narrator is the guy from all the murder shows on a&e.

What's a "Polaroid"? :)

could have sworn it was rock hudson at first.
well I ended up sitting through this video for a film maker friend of mine, just out of respect I guess that you could say,... I took a creative writing class while attending a community college back in 95/96, as well as a speech class, in which you couldn't get me to shut up while up there at the podium,... in other words I am not shy when it comes to speaking in front of large groups,... another class that I had taken was journalism,... I enjoyed being a part of them all,... I've always thought myself as being creative,... so I've recently decided to throw caution to the wind, & start writing,... I prefer true events, but I've had this perfect fiction in my head for many years now, I started writing last night, & I was flowing,... I do have a friend who is intelligent when it comes to good writing, so when I am through, I was contemplating sending it on over to him in new york city where he resides, so that he could perhaps read it, & let me know what he thinks of it, because I trust his judgement,... but I don't so much need him for that, either way,... because with me, I have the ability to reach, & get in touch with just about anybody that I want, just by applying myself to the matter,... & I think that he knows that just as well as I do,... so I am going to move on with this,... my project in the works,... :-) :-) :-)
it's a porno without the porno
