23S

The 23S is hand-made from 20-year-old quarter-sawn Macassar ebony heartwood and solid titanium, and features extremely supple calfskin bellows and a genuine cordovan leather hand-strap. The unique bellows design allows full movements with wide lenses without causing any bellows shadow. • Ebony and titanium construction: no vibration or sway, even at maximum extension. Complete stability is assured. • View camera performance, field camera portability • 40mm+40mm back shift, enabling panoramic photography without lens movement • 45/47mm lens may be used with recessed lensboard • Triple-draw bellows extension, allowing front and back focus • 6x9 Polaroid/Fuji film may be used with Instant Film holder GP (available as optional accessory) • Accepts Linhof-type 4x5 lensboards • Optional Ebony back extender 692 and/or extension tubes enable the use of longer lenses. • Accepts 6x9 Graphic Standard roll film holders (Horseman, Mamiya RB67 etc.) Roll film holders may be removed without dismounting focusing screen. |
