Perhaps John regards his Ebony as a beautiful camera that meets almost all of his LF needs, but still a tool. If it can be modified in a sensitive way that allows him to improve its functionality in some useful way, without destroying what drew him to the camera in the first place, that seems like a worthwhile course of action to at least consider, no?
John, I hope you'll keep us posted on what Richard comes up with. I would be interested to see the solution.
