Greetings...
This is a question for you shooters out there who use a Deardorff camera...
[Mine is the 4x5/5x7 version]
As you know, unlike some of the Ebony models (or perhaps, all of them), the Deardorff doesn't have separate rise/fall and tilt controls. As I was using mine over the weekend (with a Nikkor 240 f5.6 lens) I thought about how nice it would be to have the front standard modified in order to implement separate controls and lock-downs. It's not that I'm not okay with using the camera "as it is" currently but...
So, I contacted Richard Ritter who said that it would take a bit of work on the metal part... so, I'm under the impression that it can be done.
Has anyone else had such a modification done on their camera? And, if so... how did it work out for you? Any regrets?
Thanks in advance for any comments or insights on this.
Cheers
