New camera: thanks guys

Just a post to say thanks for the advice given to me in a thread I posted a few

months back (http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00JrOY)

I have now finally got my camera with all the accessories up and running. I

went for the Ebony RSW45, 6x9 roll film adapter. Being able to use my RB67

backs is great and has saved a load of money. The minimal movements of the RSW

are no problem for me at all shooting landscapes and I really like the

simplicity. Everyone who has seen the camera has remarked at move beautifully

it is made.

The whole outfit weighs in at slightly over half of what my RB67 did and I get

the option of 4x5 and some movements. Having lens tilt gives so much more

freedom for compositions especially given my use of normal lenses for landscape

where dof is often a serious problem without movements - I?m still getting used

to focusing accurately with tilt though.

I will be sticking with 6x7, at least for a while. I feel more free to take

creative risks shooting roll film but as I improve the quickload holder will

come out of it?s box :)
