[LargeFormat] Intro & Camera [now Calumet vs Toyo]

[Kent Gibbs]

I have a Cadet.  It will do anything you want to do.  You will run out
of lens coverage before you run out of movement.  It is relatively
light weight (6 lbs.) and will accept the polaroid 545 holders,
readyload and quickload holders as well as the Calumet roll film
adapters.  For the money, I don't think it can be beat.  You could pay
alot more for less camera.
