What it is
{"overview":"The Cambo Legend is a large-format view camera produced by the Dutch manufacturer Cambo, a firm known for monorail and technical cameras aimed at studio and professional use. It is a sheet-film system camera designed around interchangeable standards, bellows and lens boards rather than a fixed lens.","market_narrative":"Sales data for the Legend is thin, so any guide to its value today is indicative rather than definitive. Buyers should expect price to track heavily with the lens, film back and accessories included rather than the body alone.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes by shining a torch inside in a dark room, check that the front and rear standards lock firmly on all movements, and confirm the ground glass is intact and correctly seated. Verify that any supplied lens board fits the Cambo standard and that film holders are light-tight.

Questions
Is the Cambo Legend a good buy at this price?
For a working large-format user the price is modest, but the value proposition rests on the bellows being light-tight and the standards moving smoothly, so condition matters more than the headline figure.
