Hi all,
Some of you will know from my previous posts I have been weighing up the pros and cons of the various Ebony 45 cameras. After analysing all the information on this site and all the kind comments I have received from other Ebony users, I had ALMOST made up my mind and decided on the Ebony SW45, as this camera seems to suit my desire for wideangle landscape work and I can still use longer lenses up to 400mm.
As I say, I had almost made up my mind, then, as I was packing away all the spec. sheets on the Ebony range, I noticed the 45S spec. sheet tucked away at the back and I saw an interesting feature on this model - the 60mm + 60mm back shift.
I enjoy panorama photography, I use the Sinar 6x12 zoom back and a 35mm swing lens pano camera, but this feature would enable me to take panoramas on 4x5 without lens movement. My questions are: 1) Has anyone used this feature and if so, do you consider it works well? 2) Does anyone know the exact size panoramic image(s) that I would end up with? I presume stitching of two images together is required? 3) Would I be able to use the Sinar 6x12 zoom back at it's different format settings, with the shift feature, to get wider images? 4) Would I be able to use the new SS 38/5.6 XL with this feature or would I have to stick to 'normal' or longer lenses?
I know that's quite a few questions, but any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Peter Brown
