Calumet
Monorail 8x10 view camera produced from the early 1960s to around 1984, with its design rooted in the Ansco Commercial flatbed. Early models used magnesium alloy castings weighing about 14 pounds, while later versions switched to aluminum. Offers over 34 inches of bellows extension using inner and outer rail pairs, with friction-based movements rather than geared controls.
