The Calumet C1 is a durable large format camera.  Designed as a field camera, this metallic large format camera can be folded up into a relatively compact package for somewhat easier portability. The Calumet C1 is sturdy and reliable. It has been a popular camera for wet plate collodion work for these reasons but it is also a great camera for general purpose 8x10 photography. The C1 has a versatile array of movements, including:

  • 5" of front rise and fall
  • Center axis front swing - limited only by the bellows
  • Center axis front tilt - limited only by the bellows
  • 4" front shift
  • Center axis rear tilt - +/- 30°
  • Center axis rear swing - +/- 30°
  • 4" rear shift

Furthermore the Calumet C1 has a maximum bellows extension of approximately 34" with a minimum bellows compression of approximately 4".

This is a later, heavier aluminum version of the C1, instead of the earlier magnesium version, weighing in at a bit over 18 lbs.
