Ebony Whole Plate!

[David Karp]

Check out the new Ebony SV Whole Plate camera: http://www.ebonycamera.com/cam.html

I read about it on the Online Photographer: http://theonlinephotographer.blogspot.com/

If enough of us dive in to this format, and holders become readily available, I think I will have to dive in too. The main thing that has kept me back is that I don't have the time or inclination to search and search for holders and wait unitl I can luck into some. As so many have said, it just seems like a wonderful size for contacts.

Thouht some of us might be interested.

Talk about non standard ! I'd rather 8x10 !

Dave - stay tuned, T.O.P. will have more to say on the topic, likely sometime within the next two or three weeks.

Oren,

I gathered that you would be providing something for TOP after reading Mike Johnston's blurb. I am looking forward to reading it.

Of course, if the only new camera available is an Ebony, I am still out of the game, but their introduction of a camera is a somewhat interesting development.

I will be interested in learning how Ebony will support this format with new film holders.

Sweeeeet!

Yeah, Mike's been on my case, and very cleverly put a public stake in the ground. I guess I can no longer evade my duty to uphold the honor of wholeplatedom...

But don't get carried away with speculation, all. I think we'll have some good information to share, and we'd love to see others pick up an interest in this fun format. But so far as we know, there's nothing cooking in the way of bargain-priced new cameras or holders. If anyone has information to the contrary, please do get in touch and we'll investigate further.

Come on, I need a reason to live. A person can hope, can't they?

We definitely encourage all whole-some hopes.

I would be amazed if resurrecting this format is an economic proposition! 3 months ago I drew attention to this new camera on the LF Forum (http://www.lf-photo.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=271), and the response was not overwhelming, to say the least!

I write as an enthusiastic user of Ebony cameras (45S and SV57E). I have no connection with them.
