My Calumet lived in my trunk a lot, while I went out "scouting" with my little Pentax. I sold the Calumet and got a nice-looking Zone V view camera that lived comfortably in my trunk for a few more years. I also had an anonymous old 8x10 for a while. During my film days, I have one "keeper" from the 8x10, about 2 dozen from the 4x5s, and a couple of thousand from the Pentaxes. Now with the Canon 5D2 as my main camera, I hardly ever even pack the tripod.
