Yes Louis, I missed the 8 X 10 requirement. I think the Nikon set barely covers 5 X 7.

I don't understand why this camera even exists, especially from Ebony, I mean, my Chamonix I can fit a 65mm SA with the recessed lens board and focus at infinity on my 8x10 and also fit a 600mm lens on it.
How light is it that you only get wide angles?
Sorry, but I'm just shocked that a company as pricy as Ebony would sell such a limited camera.
The 450 C is one AMAZING lens, I have toyed with the idea of buying a second one as a backup as my long term plans to shoot LF for the next 70 years
I explore you to keep it and find a solution.
And if not, sell it to me cheap hah!
I have the SW45 and love it and when I took that big step to 8x10 I guess I needed encouragement. The SW810 is just a bigger version of the SW45 and I find comfort in familiarity. I opted for an even simpler version in the SLW810 because it is lighter in mahogany instead of ebony and I don't need the rear shift anyway. I know the limitations and I only use the 72mm, 90mm and 150mm for 4x5 anyway. I like to shoot old buildings so wides and are more useful for me.
If you can afford an Ebony, you should be able to easily afford any lens board that you want.

It isn't about what I can afford
Top hat lens board. A lens board with an extended tube that increases the lens:film distance without increasing bellows draw.
