Ebony 4x5 camera back that takes Alpa lensboards and Alpa digital back adapters. The lock mechanism is designed to clear and attach to the same points as an Alpa camera. #skgrimes #alpacamera #ebonycamera https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtOBx-u6Oa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SKG first generation Alpa board compatible adapter. This particular adapter fits an Ebony 2x3 camera and allows you to attach all the digital back adapters that work with the Alpa system. The locking knobs have a satisfying engagement and feature the same height clearance as the Alpa system. #skgrimes #alpacamera #ebonycamera #digitalback https://www.instagram.com/s.k.grimes/p/CYRc4ZLrsh5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Someone gave me a broken Epson V750, plugged it and it works. Yours truly on Polaroid 54. Taken by my friend Gerar with his Ebony 4x5 and a Cooke Portrait lens. #polaroid #polaroid54 #ebonycamera #4x5 #nicosphotographyshow

Well shit... my own hashtag on the earlier photo led me to a post that informed me that #EbonyCamera ceased operations yesterday. Hiromi Sakanashi and his team hand make each camera from ebony heartwood, or in the case of my RW-45 field #viewcamera, fully cured pattern grade mahogany. The titanium hardware and Japanese lacquer make for rigid movements no matter the ambient humidity. I bought mine new in '07 and absolutely love it. Sad to see another traditional craft go the way of the dodo. #4x5 #largeformat #wap_largeformat #filmforever #endofanera (at Oak Street Building)

Today is the last day one can order a new Ebony camera. They will be closing their factory at the end of this month. If you want to be up to date on news like this one be sure to check my weekly news video on my Youtube channel. This is one I had a few years back and was amazing but I wasnt into 4x5 at the time. #ebonycamera #largeformat #nicosphotographyshow #npn
