dcrothen8 karma

Not OP, but was using a Calumet 4x5 until about ten years ago (Jeez, it's been that long?!), not sure if anything's changed since then (doubtful, "if it ain't broke...") but at that time, view cameras still offered, and thus required, the usual adjustments: swing (front & rear), tilt (front & rear), rise/drop (front), and shift (left & right), along with the obvious focusing. BTW, these aren't "problems" but opportunities to getting the images one wants. HTH.
