Ebony SV45U2 4×5 Large Format Field Film Camera Mint-

Description

With its asymmetrical rear tilts and swings, unmatched bellows extension and enormous range of movements, the SV45U2 is a masterpiece of camera engineering. The SV45U2 is superbly crafted from quarter-sawn Macassar ebony heartwood, one of nature’s hardest, strongest and most stable construction materials. This extremely dense and straight-grained wood is aged for over 20 years before it is cut, and finished with a premium grade oil to retain its unique natural lustre. The metal parts are made of solid titanium – harder, stronger and lighter than stainless steel. The uniquely thin and supple yet durable calfskin bellows are hand-made to Ebony’s specifications. The SV45U2 is quite simply the best folding view camera in the world.
