The Calumet is certainly a great buy for general work in the studio, but
for copy work specifically, I would choose one of the Graphic/Graflexes.
A Speed Graphic can still be bought for $75 to $250. With its curtain
shutter, all you need is mount a barrel lens or an enlarging lens, and
you have a reliable workhorse.

Just my $0.02.
