Hi,
Just looking a little user feedback here.
Looking for a camera to use mainly for 69 and 612 rollfilm (and 54 is nice bonus for when necessary)
Must have movements..rise, fall, shift, for interior and exterior work..portability is nice.
Lenses from 38 minimum to 135 minimum (though 180 preferred)
The choice I have are two very different systems:
1. Ebony SW45 with lenses from 45 to 180.
Great to use, easy to add lenses, light, large movements, 54 option.
2. Horseman SW612P with 45 to 135 lenses.
Higly portable, can be used handheld if necessary, viewfinder with distance focussing foir quicker shooting where necessary.
I can set up both for about the same price.
Image flexibility the ebony is better due to 54 option and lenses upto 180 but the horseman gives me the more compact kit and the viewfinder handheld option which may be great for a panaoramic project I am shooting.
Has anyone used the horseman and if so how do you find the handling, does the viewfinder really make quicker handholding shots possible, and have you found the movemets enough for tight interiors, etc.
thanks for any info.
