    Re: Ebony SW410E

    Thank you very much! I hope I can present some nice images this year!

    I simply have no need for accessory shoe so I decided to go without it, the front spirit level is usally mounted on a piece of plastic which I didn't like. I use externe spirit levels but most of the time the ones installed on the back are sufficient due to the 0°-clicks and the non-folding design.

    I use Provia 100F for color, which scans fabulous and is easier to saturate in post when needed than mute Velvia down... For B/W I love TMY2 (T-Max 400 new) which is fine-grained with great tonality even at 800ASA (using Ultrafin Plus).

    I use a dedicated HSM guillotine to cut them, I will equip it to cut only in one position. Still trying to figure out which Jobo drum works best for 4x10 - any suggestions?

    Thanks, the Expert drums can use 4x10 without any modification?

    A nice looking piece of machinery! Using a Ries tripod and tilt head, I could easily see using this camera for verticals! Looks like it would behave itself tilted. And I like the idea of non-folders.

    Shen Hao has a nice non-folding 5x7 which would be tempting if it had a horizontal/vertical back.

    I am definitely interested in vertical 10x4! i have to figure how to do that, currently I can only flip it in one position due to the tripod legs being in the way - still considering a geared head... Damn, it's too simple to spend money on this stuff ;-)

    The Shen Hao cameras are usually copies of the Ebony design and the build-quality is mediocre, you get what you pay for... Personally I am not a fan but of course the price is tempting at first sight.

    Hi George. If your tripod has a column you should be able to raise it 6 inches or so and then tilt your camera 90 degrees easily, as the legs will not then be in the way.
