I am considering a Ebony 23S for all the reason that one would consider a 6x9 fi eld camera, but I have some questions.
Regarding backs, I assume that Horseman roll film backs are as good as any. The price at 350-400 makes them cheap compared to some! And the Polaroid back is use d with an adapter, Instant film holder GP, but what are my options for Polaroid backs once this is bought? I can?t find an explicit or clear explanation of Pola roids on the Graphic back. Finally, Ebony claims that the Mamiya RZ back fit on their cameras. True, user comments?
I have heard of only one person saying a binocular viewer (Horseman viewer 22551 ) could be used with these Graphic back, and that they have used it. Comments?
And lens selection, I under stand the issues with image circle and all that, but am unclear on lenses designed for larger formats. Would it be wise to use a len s that has a max format of 5x7 on this 6x9 format? For example, the 75mm Super A nguln has plenty of image circle, but is there something I am missing by just lo oking at specs in the book? Regardless, I am going to get the SPO Sinronar N len s for this as a starting point.
For reference, I have read (amoung lots of others) this most informative thread on the Arca F69 vs. the Ebony SV23: http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=004SyX
Thanks for you time on this. I know there are a lot of small questions here, but answer will help in the final decision.
