SV45U2 With its asymmetrical rear tilts and swings, unmatched bellows extension and enormous range of movements, the SV45U2 is a masterpiece of camera engineering. The SV45U2 is superbly crafted from quarter-sawn Macassar ebony heartwood, one of nature's hardest, strongest and most stable construction materials. This extremely dense and straight-grained wood is aged for over 20 years before it is cut, and finished with a premium grade oil to retain its unique natural lustre. The metal parts are made of solid titanium - harder, stronger and lighter than stainless steel. The uniquely thin and supple yet durable calfskin bellows are hand-made to Ebony's specifications. The SV45U2 is quite simply the best folding view camera in the world. • Ebony and titanium construction: absolutely rigid, even at maximum extension. Complete stability is assured. • Asymmetrical tilts and swings replace center tilts and swings on back standard allowing perfect focus to be maintained during adjustments. • The movements, precision and rigidity of a view camera with the portability of a field camera • Base and asymmetrical tilts at back, base and center tilts at front • Huge triple-draw bellows extension enabling use of 35mm-800mm lenses, and allowing both front and back focus. • Universal bellows replace standard bellows, facilitating use of wide-angle lenses (Interchangeable wide-angle bellows also available as optional accessory) • 35mm lens may be used with recessed lensboard • Foldable, with 30° drop-bed • Accepts Linhof-type 4x5 lensboards • Accepts both 4x5 International Standard and 6x9 Graphic Standard roll film holders (Horseman, Mamiya RB67 etc.): format reducing adapter required for 6x9 roll film or instant film holders.
