Description:

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.

Features:

• 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
