Help me ID this recessed board?

[M Carter]

I'm thinking Cambo Cadet? Came with a lens, keeping the glass but not the board!

Could be Calumet?

Only based on the 4"x4" lens board.

That's my thinking, though I have the SC with the 6"-ish boards. I seem to recall the intro-level Cadet was 4"/100mm though?

Check out the Calumet Orbit 4"x4" lens board.

The Cadet looks to have a 124mmx124mm lens board.

Where did you pick up your lens+board?

Graphic View cameras take 4x4 boards as well. I have a couple recessed boards that look exactly like the ones pictures for mine.
Best,

Yes, I've ID'd it as the early Calumet, and there are a couple other cameras with the same board.

I got it with a 90mm Super Angulon F8, someone picked it up at an estate sale; lens was mounted the wrong way on the board for some reason. Lens and shutter look brand new, shutter may need a servicing but overall a nice find!

Looks like the Calumet 400 Series. These were frequently reversed in order to allow use of longer focal length lenses on the Calumet Wide Angle (CC402?)Camera. The same camera did not require a recessed board for 90mm lenses... actually, for someone who works only with wide-angle lenses (in 4x5) the wide angle Calumet is a great choice due to price and functionality.
