a really simple question here..but one I can't find definitve answer to!

What lens panels can an ebony (SW45) take?

Is it linhof, wista and ebony?

or also toyo etc.

Thanks.

I the 45su and it takes the nikon lens boards, I would guess the sw would be the same. I am not sure what the nikon board is comparable to though...

All 3. save yourself some money and you could get lensboard at Adorama for 34.00
they are designated Wista, Linhof,tachihara I use them for my Ebony 4x5Ti
Br

I might add that they do not take toyo boards.

The Ebony 4x5 cameras use Linhof Technika-sized lens boards, which are also compatible with Wista and a variety of other cameras. New generic versions of these boards are available from many sources (including Badger Graphic, Midwest Photo Exchange, etc.) for around $30-$35 USD.

As above...actually all 3 of mine are Wista boards (for my 45s non-folder).

Midwest is great and usually has them on their eBay store for quick purchase.
