SV57/SV57E
The 5x7 version of Ebony's classic folding camera. Constructed entirely of quarter-sawn Honduran mahogany heartwood (SV57, pictured above), or quarter-sawn Macassar ebony heartwood (SV57E), 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 (SV57) or ebony (SV57E) and titanium construction: no vibration or sway, even at maximum extension. Complete stability is assured. • The movements, precision and rigidity of a view camera with the portability of a field camera • Base and center tilts at both front and back • Huge, triple-draw bellows extension, enabling use of 47XL to 800mm lenses, and allowing both front and back focus. (Interchangeable wide-angle bellows available as optional accessory) • 72XL lens may be used with flat board.
