I've had a couple of inquiries about the view camera. With the box it came in,
it weighs 38 pounds.
I just took some quick photos of the kit:

The pictures are very quick and dirty, expository rather than artistic.
Comments on the photos are pretty much a waste of time and energy, I know they
suck. Relevant comments about the camera are appreciated though.
It does seem to have an extra lens mount plate, and an extra bellows. As well
as a box of Tri-X.
I was more than a little amused by the box labeled "spanner wrenches", I wonder
if whoever wrote that liked to eat biscuit cookies.
Nice Cambo. They are a pretty decent camera. Any lenses with it?
I was given a Cambo with a 150mm Fujinon lens a while back.
My view camera of choice is the field camera, and being a bit of a
traditionalist, I prefer wooden ones. My first view camera was a Burke &
James monorail that weighed something like 16 pounds. After hiking it
once, I decided that a new camera was in order, and bought the Tachihara.
I haven't had a chance to play with the Cambo yet.
I need a darkroom.
