Hi all,
Firstly, apologies for another newbie 'which first camera?' thread.
I am deliberating between the Arca-Swiss F line 'Field' (which is an F-Line 6x9 with a tapered bellows and a 4x5" back) and the Ebony SW45s as my first LF camera:

I am interested in these 2 cameras particularly due to their wideangle capability. I will be shooting landscapes only, with a plan to eventually have a 4 lens system (65, 90, 150, 240).
Questions:
1. In real world use, can either camera utilise full movements at both the 65mm and 240mm lens range?
2. Which would be easier to set up and which easier to focus?
3. The Ebony is appealing because it is relatively light but it only has front/back 'centre' tilt whilst the AS has 'base' tilt. Can I assume base tilt is preferable for landscape work?
Any advice or comments from those who are familiar with either camera, or both, would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Barry
