It's a wobblecombobulator I think...

One of the side effects of last Saturday's efforts, I presume.

Looks a bit like a Linhoff, but it's not. The rear end looks too small for a 4x5 .... Do tell all

And congratulations.

Arca swiss?

Calumet , maybe a 5x7?

Its a Calumet 4x5, is a CC401, I think it is a 60's vintage...

The lens is a Carl Zeiss Jenna tessar f 4.5 13.5 cm in a compur shutter, google has lead me to believe that it is a pre-WWII lens.

It came with 2 double film holders

Edit: Did some more research looks like the lens was produced in 1925

That thing is fantastic! I would hate to think how much is cost. I can see now the headlines in the newspaper "angry partner kills other half with a Calumet 4x5 CC401 fitted with a Carl Zeiss Jenna tessar f 4.5 13.5 cm".

Seriously, I am looking forward to see the images this camera produces.

First of all, love that large format!

Second of all, you sound like this other guy who got a bunch of pocket wizards and when his wife asked he said...

"It's a second hand walkie talkie I got from a garage sale."
"They're cheap so they don't work so well."

:lol:
