Congrats. If it's good enough for John Sexton, Bruce Barnbaum, and Don Kirby, I'm sure it will work for you. If not, send it to me.

There is an Ebony RW45 being sold in the B&S forum right now, and I am wondering how this camera slipped under my radar, being a nicely capable field camera with a very reasonable price tag, especially for the Mahogany version.

Does anyone have any experience with this camera?

The back of the RW45 has no rise function, so it's less than ideal - but by no means unusable. You're just a bit limited when working with extreme wideangles, since front tilt requires front drop or rear rise to center the film in the image circle. Still, it has 20 degrees rear tilt which will cover all but very extreme movements with a 90.

This camera costs about the same new as my Master Technika does used, so if I ever decide not swap out, I guess it will be a strong contender.
