617S/617SE
A lightweight non-folding panoramic view camera, with an extensive range of movements. Constructed entirely of quarter-sawn Honduran mahogany heartwood (617S), or quarter-sawn Macassar ebony heartwood (617SE), each aged for at least 20 years. As with all Ebony cameras, the metal parts are made of solid titanium. The uniquely thin and supple yet durable calfskin bellows are hand-made to Ebony's specifications. The hand-strap is made of genuine cordovan leather. • Mahogany (617S) or ebony (617SE) and titanium construction: no vibration or sway, even at maximum extension. Complete stability is assured. • The movements and rigidity of a view camera with the portability of a field camera • Triple-draw bellows extension, allowing front and back focus • Accepts Linhof-type lensboards and Horseman 617 roll film holders (only) |
