I am wondering whether has anyone of you heard of this brand of large format cameras called canham.

If you have heard about it, I would like to know more about your experience using one.

Thanks

There is still a large group of Large Format lovers that
keep this form of photography alive including Singapore.
They have distributors in China and you can read more
about one user here.

i used to have a Canham 45DLC
now someone else in Singapore has it : )

if you are one of those who just use the camera's groundglass to setup
see the image, compose and shoot, then you will like it
it's super lightweight and allows all the movement my lens can handle
love their lensboard ....
it's a work of art too
would have loved to keep it as a display peice
but i feel bad seeing it not in use

if you need stuff like geared movements
precision calibration and repeatable settings
then i think sinar stuff is more suitable
( not that the canham cannot do it..... )

oh .. and the sinar zoom II back does not fit nicely into the canham slot.

Shameless plug
somewhere in the B&S are the lens used with the Canham still for sales
65mm & 210mm Fujinons
mild wide and mild tele lens : )
