Help with ID'ing
First let me say Hello.
Now I need some help with some equopment ID. Last summer I purchased a repo and am
just getting around to cleaning out some of the photo equipment left here.
In the box in question I found something that looks like a bellows. The name on it is Calumet. A couple of lens, one is a Fuji, with the numbers 1:8/90. The other is a Technika with numbers 1:5.6/210. A bunch of film packs by Riteway and 1 by Polaroid. What looks to me to be a light meter by Komamura called Horseman optical exposure computer. Wa box of filters and a filter holder by Kenko.
Everything appears to be in good shape. But I know nothing. It is not like my old Brownie or my Sony point and shoot.
Any information on this equipment would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Does the Calumet look something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Cambo-%2F-Calume...915141006r3737
The Horseman is what it looks like...a light meter but old and hard to get battery for according ot what I see with google research.
It sounds like you have parts of a large format outfit.

Sounds like a view camera. They seem to made of gold, check ebay. The F8 90mm lens and shutter is only about 100-200 but the other is alot more. The camera by it self goes from 100- up depending on the condition of the camera. Do some research on the prices and conditions before you put it up for sale.

Frog, The camera on e-bay looks lke this one, but this one has a slide bar on it. Under the slide bar it has a mount for a tripod. A neighbor here said the guy that lived here before was some kind of nature buff. That he took pictures of all kinds of things for different magazines. Like I said this thing is a lot different than my Sony point and shoot. You would need to hire someone just to carry it around.

Here's another ebay link to a similar camera with lots of accessories priced out (these are apparently brand new replacement cost quotes)

Re: Help with ID'ing
Agreed. eBay is not only a good place to be able to identify equipment, but a quick search of the completed listings will also give you and idea of how much it's worth.
