andrew_ito Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 So I've been shooting with a sweet little Ebony 23S for around 5 years or so. It's gotten a new bellows from Hiromi in Japan and he outfitted it with the Horseman angle viewer. I also acquired a Maxwell screen for it and it focuses just beautifully. No fresnel lines at all and so smooth to look at even under higher magnification loupes. Lately though, I've found that I miss the 4x5 proportion that I liked shooting with so much in the earlier days. The convenience of 120 film is incredible and so is the price of processing though so I'm torn. I've got a few cases of Velvia 100 from Japan in the freezer too. (The pre-US Velvia 100. It has very similar characteristics to the old Velvia 50 but at 100 speed. It was sold in Japan but not in the US until recently, but may be a different emulsion.) At any rate, any comments on whether or not I should make the switch? And, anyone care to offer a trade of their Ebony 4x5 for my Ebony 23S with Maxwell screen and Horseman Angle viewer?

raja_krishnan Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I have a RSW 45, used once only. Would you be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_dolde Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Why not get a 6x7 back if you like 4x5 proportions? You could use Schneider Digitar lenses to make the most of the film size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
