I've been thinking about large format for quite some time, I've tested it and I like the whole approach to photography which is so different from "point & shoot" or trying to finish a 36 exposure 35mm-film...
I love the Technica, but it's 4x5" - I don't want to go through all the hassle when I can get 2 or 4 times larger slide ! ;-)
On Photokina I handled an Ebony and I think this is "the one" - at least for me! Strange, always hated wooden cameras (I'm an Engineer, I highly suspect plastics and wood and my logical choice would have been Keith's Canham ;-)
I'm still not sure about 4x10" (smaller and "Cinemasope" ;-) or 8x10" (can shot 4x10" as well) - but I'll figure that out.
Now to my question:
I've wanted to visit Tokyo anyway and I thought about getting it from there!? Can you get it directly from Ebony? What are the prices in Yen?
I still have about 6 months to rethink my decision (that's why I don't want to contact Mr. Sakanashi directly, yet), but I just want to have all the options available.
Thank you very much!
