FYI: The Ektar lens has been sold, but the Canham camera & backs are still available.
 
It must be the upcoming recession; I do not understand why it has not sold.
The 4x5 (both metal and wood) as well as the 8x10 by Mr. Canham are, for sure, the highest quality, effective and innovative large format cameras today.
I am sure someone will object but, even then, they would have to have a very good reason to disagree.
Besides the cameras themselves, you have to add the fact the the builder backs them up to the point that he repaired the used 4x5 I bought from someone else, no questions asked.
Keep trying, someone out there does not know yet this is the camera for him/her

Gaston, Me too!
I have owned Deardorff, Wisner, Linhof, etc and none have reached the quality of the Canhams. Keith has helped me several times with backs, fronts, boards, etc. Always very helpful with great service.
I would only sell this one to replace with a smaller 4x5 and a MF. I just do not shoot enough LF to justify keeping the Canham.
Not too worried about it....the value is there, I know. And I can always just stare at the Canham with my Wollensak Velostigmat soft focus lens mounted on her.
Way to HOT down here to get out and shoot!
Thanks for the reply!
