   This is a Calumet shade for both the 8x10 and CC-400
series cameras. It came with an adaptor clamp for the
camera. I have both cameras and shades for both. The shade
is the same. Calumet probably offered adaptors for other
cameras but they are not shown in the catalogues for the
cameras I have.
   One of my adaptors has a broken spring clamp on the 
front. I checked with Calumet probably three years ago and 
found they had no spares left.
   This is a heavy and somewhat clumsy but entirely useful 
shade that also takes 4x4 gelatin filters and all sorts of 
diffusers on the front.
