Dear all

I recently bought a Super Speed Graphic with a Schneider Xenar 150mm but it is without a cam... Does anyone know where I can find the shape of this cam or can scan his cam for me?

Thanks in advance

Super cams and Pacemake (TRF) cams are completely different and not interchangable. Something to keep in mind...

There is a scan of a possibly not-too-good 150 cam for the Super at:
http://www.southbristolviews.com
under Graflex Manuals. This may help if you want/need to make your own.

To buy one, call Midwest and talk to Jim (and only Jim). he may have one in stock or may be able to get one. My one caution on any bought cam is to make sure that it is chrome plated on ALL edges! If the plating is missing, the cam has been modified in some way. I had a couple of 210mm cams like this and they were worthless...

Good luck to you and if you locate a good 150 cam and are able, I'd like a scan of it...

Good news. And sorry about "Midwest". Sometimes we take things for granted. For future readers, it's Midwest Photo Exchange: http://www.mpex.com/

If you do get a good scan of a good cam, you could always e-mail it to me and I'll add it to the rest of the scans. Thanks...
