Hi Andrew - I didn't add front tilt myself, Richard Ritter added it for me. You might want to contact him. IIRC he charged around $250 and did an excellent job. I no longer have the camera so I can't give you any pictures.

The nice thing about it is that if you make one you wouldn't have to modify your front standard at all. If you are interested I can post a picture of it for you.

This is actually a good solution because the beauty of the 2D is being sturdy enough to put a heavy 15" petzval on and the old girl can take it. If you do the mod I've seen for front swings, you won't be able to put that kind of weight up front any more.

It's quite easy and also low cost to make a high quality front tilt. It's on my list to do in the next month or so for my second Agfa Ansco 10x8. You need some basic wood-working skills and also be able to make a small set of bellows, but it sounds harder than it is
