CALEB - Caleb Notice FR
Comprehensive service manual and repair guide for CALEB-Films cameras, the first French-manufactured photographic apparatus produced in large series. This workshop manual covers all available models — CALEB-B 6×9, CALEB-S 6×9 and 6½×11, plus their 8×10½ variants — and explains how to achieve quality photographs with these cameras, from basic body configurations to versions with full housings and frame-mounted backs. Film loading is detailed for spools, glass plates and film-packs, including proper insertion into the specialized metal chassis. The manual also addresses viewing and focusing technique, lens adjustment on both Type II and Type III shutters, lens decentering adjustment, and practical photography guidance for landscapes, monuments, marine scenes, group and portrait work, and interior photography. Detailed exposure time tables help photographers establish correct exposure based on lighting conditions, subject matter, and aperture selection. Includes troubleshooting advice for common operational issues. PDF download available.
