Cambo SC-2, who has one?
Hello,
So i finally just now was able to identify which model my cambo is, and it is an sc-2. I was wondering who else uses an sc-2, and what everyone thinks of them? I'm really just curious is all. I personally love the camera and don't see what more you need except maybe a lighter camera, and one that has more bellows. Anyways, just wondering if I've got a desirable camera or not haha.

I have one, like it well enough. For more bellows I'll sell you a Calumet cc-401, with 22" of bellows, or pick up another bellows, an extension rail, and extra standard. You can extend all you want that way.

Um, er, ah, SuperCambos and derivatives have one-piece rails that don't accept extensions. If you want a longer rail, get a longer rail. The least expensive longer rails are 1" x 1" t-slotted aluminum extrusion sold by, e.g., 80/20. I use 'em with my 2x3 SC (has the same size rail as larger SCs). T-slotted extrusion's only drawback is that doesn't have stops at the ends to keep the unwary photographer from running a standard off the rail.
IMO SCs' (includes the SC-2) major limitation is hostility to short lenses.
I also have a CC-401. Very capable camera but with fixed bellows.

I can run a 105mm on my SC II without recessed lens board. Have a deep recessed board for same using my cc-401, but I can put some serious long lenses or work super close with the cc-401. The Cambo is a lot more convenient for packing, and more movements,not really any less weight.
