SV Wholeplate / SV Wholeplate E
The 6 1/2 x 8 1/2" version of Ebony's classic folding camera. Constructed entirely of quarter-sawn Macassar ebony heartwood (SV Wholeplate E) or quarter-sawn Honduran mahogany heartwood (SV Wholeplate, pictured above) both 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. • Ebony (SV Wholeplate E) or mahogany (SV Wholeplate) and titanium construction: no vibration or sway, even at maximum extension.
