Ebony RW45 E 5x4 Large Format Camera

The RW45 is a classical double extension folding field camera that is unusually equipped with both base and centre (axis) tilts at the front and rear.

It is a general purpose field camera with less emphasis on wider lenses than the non folding models, making it great for portraiture and close up work than other models in the range cameras with less extension. Lenses shorter than 90mm need to be mounted in a recessed panel.

The non interchangeable bellows have been designed with an unpleated section at the front, for improved flexibility when using shorter focal length lenses.
