Yes, I do own the Ebony RW810 and I love it. Maybe I should post a review. I've been processing film every day now for the last two weeks. I process about 5-10 sheets a day in Unicolor and Beseler drums that I purchased on ebay for $9 + shipping. I don't have a motor base yet so I've been turning them by hand. I eventually plan to buy a Jobo, but I'll probably pick up the motor base before that happens. After I finish all the B&W film that I have to process, I have about 100 8x10 sheets of C41 waiting for me, as well as another 70 C41 in 4x5 from a trip earlier in the year to Puerto Rico. I'm thinking of building a temp controlled water bath system for use with my Unicolor/Beseler drums, so I'll be busy for a short while.
I love shooting 8x10 much more than 4x5 (I also own an Arca Swiss 4x5). The 4x5 and 8x10 are the only cameras I own besides my cellphone camera. I sold a Canon 5d MKII and all my 35mm gear and used the money to buy the RW810. I don't miss the Canon one bit.
If I lived closer to you I would let you try it out. Well, if you're ever here in California let me know.

Thanks a lot, for your offer, Perez...I wish I could go to California...the closest I've been from there was Brasil (I use to go there once a year, to teach some workshops).
In fact, I have some medium format cameras that I shoud sell to buy a Shen Hao FCL 810 (Ebony is too expensive for me) but you know how it is, I'm in love with my Pentax 67, 645, Rolleiflex and Hasselblad 500 C/M, I can't discard any of those...
Perhaps I can sell some prints, after I have my personal webpage ready...( I print in my home darkroom from 8x10" to 16x20" fiberbase photographs)...maybe I can make enough money to buy a SH 8x10".
Got back out for a few days....

These will be much better once printed. The scan is tough to get right with the contrast.

Nana,
My apologies...yes, I was referring to the extraordinary grace and unshakable excellence of your image.
