Thanks, Richard !
Yes, I agree that Calumet is great camera and I hope to find springs soon.
As for 5x7 - it is really rare bird here ( and expensive ). The only way
is
to buy in States, but shipping cost is high. Well, I bought my dry mount
press in USA for $90, paid $100 for shipping and I'm really happy because
the cheapiest press I could buy here was 900 Euro.
But as for camera - I still think to rebuild back standard of Calumet to
5x7... And I have an old Fuji w 150mm wich covers 5x7.. Well, temptation..
