Anyone in the Los Angeles area have an Ebony field camera?

I'd like to see and touch one first hand before pulling the trigger.
Please send a PM.

TIA!

Hey NB,

I'm across the country, but if you're in the market for a wood field camera, Ebony is the best. You won't have a problem buying "blind", I did on the recommendation of another user, and I'm still packing that camera years later.

I prefer the ebony wood for beauty and durability, but mahogany generally saves a pound in 4x5.

Cheers, Steve

Yes, I own an Ebony and would be happy to show it to you. Please see the private message I sent to you.

Thanks guys!

Rick was the perfect host. We met, he shared his knowledge, and insights of the camera as we played, made adjustments, and tried different lenses. Thank you again Rick
