Super D is the workhorse. Modified RB with Prism and Ektar 8 1/2 is the backup.
And the Crown is another backup, kind of last line of defense...!

It’s a pleasure to see this excellent camera in excellent condition. I find my own to be a joy to use.8x10 Eastman Commercial in magnesium with 14" Ektar from 1940 (about the same year as the Camera).

Never saw one
I know KODAK also made it in wood
I suppose the Mag version is far lighter

The Eastman All Metal Commercial View was only made from 1938-1942, discontinued due to the war effort’s need for magnesium. The camera certainly resembles a metal version of the 2D, but it was actually a replacement for Eastman’s earlier, massive wooden Commercial View (http://www.piercevaubel.com/cam/ekc/eastcomm.htm).
The All Metal Commercial View and the wooden 2D were sold simultaneously, but the All Metal camera cost more than twice as much and was pitched as the absolute top of the line for professional users. Weight is actually about the same, but the All Metal offers more movements and is substantially steadier. To me it feels like a precision instrument, the pride of pre-war Rochester, expertly designed and skillfully made.
