[LargeFormat] Survey of Field Cameras (was Wisner and Ebony Field Cameras)

[Bob Younger]

Les,
Though the S-SA 165 has more than sufficient coverage, there just seems to
be too much lens body behind the board and not enough room inside the
camera/bellows once they're cranked back to accomodate much in the way of
horizontal or vertical shift. I can accomodate a fair amount of tilt. I am
looking for suggestions. Would a recessed lens board help? Has anyone seen
one for the 8x10 Deardorffs?
Thanks.
Bob
