Ebony 45SU camera (Boxed) – Very Good Condition. It has been cherished and well maintained. Inevitably it isn’t Mint as I have used it as intended in the outdoors. Though being a soft Southerner, predominantly in rain-free conditions!
Apart from a tiny piece of corner of the front 45SU badge missing, the camera is a superb example of this very desirable camera. I have long said that I doubt I would ever want another camera. The asymmetric movements offer an unfair advantage in just how quick you can nail that focus in transient conditions. I shall really miss them! GG is standard Ebony with grid and etched marks for asymmetric axes. Rear swing tommy bar has been replaced for the longer 10x8 version offering more secure locking of movements.
Currently over £4500 new, they are extremely rare to be available used. SOLD

Ebony 45SU Bag Bellows (Boxed) Superb condition SOLD

Ebony 45SU Wide angle Fresnel focussing screen. This is the International Back fit version, so it just hooks straight on in lieu of Std GG. Has the std grid pattern, but no asymmetric axes markings on the glass. For use with wide lenses 90mm and shorter, though the 110mm works fine £300SOLD

These three items will enable you to fully enjoy the use of a field camera from the shortest to longest lens. If you are considering buying two or more items, will offer a reduction in price.

LF technique books – Free if you are buying something and picking it up, suspect postage will be prohibitive. Stroebl and Simmons, possibly a couple of others. Very light use, one careful Gentleman owner!!!Dykinga is spoken for

Available film will be announced shortly - please contact me for list of what is available.

I’m working 18hr days at the moment and thus haven’t had time to fully research prices, but have asked ones I think seem to be fair. If I am miles out, then please provide evidence for comparable product in same condition and I’ll try to accommodate.

Postage will be quite expensive for some heavy items and haven’t had a chance to investigate options. I am situated on South Coast if you’d like to arrange to pick up your items

Additional information - My working conditions have changed and I have made the decision to move to an entirely digital workflow, largely on the grounds that I don’t have the time to properly enjoy all the aspects of film photography and juggle all my other commitments.

I really look after my gear and applied much thought and sought advice before purchasing, as I prefer the buy once, but well philosophy. I have photos of all of the main items, but have to change them from their RAW state. I will do in the next day or so.

All now SOLD, thank you for looking

Here are images of my Ebony 45SU. The yellow Std label on the GG refers to the fresnel fitted to prevent confusion in the field, or more commonly for me, on the beach! Universal bellows are fitted.

Ebony soap included FOC!

Three more images of the Ebony 45SU which is for sale.

Picture of the Ebony 45SU bag bellows fitted to the camera to give an idea of how flexible they are. They are so simple to change, a slider on lens standard and two knurled machine screws at the top of the film standard, visible at 5 O'clock from the leather carrying strap in this picture.

Three pictures of the International fit Ebony Wide Angle Fresnel Ground Glass for the Ebony 45SU. Yellow 'Wide' label for clarity when in a bit of a flap changing gear.... I'm sure you've been there!

I've used a Lee long padded pouch to hold this in the long pocket on the lid of the Supertrekker. You are welcome to the pouch if it is of use to you with this item.

Have made a few amendments to the original post.

This camera really needs a new and enthusiastic owner so that it can get back outside again and reward you by making some wonderful pictures!

bump - someone must be interested...

Having bought Bax's Cooke lens and several other useful items I can vouch that he does look after them. In fact, when I contacted Robert White to cancel my lens order for the Cooke they spoke very highly of Bax's care of his photographic kit. If you are buying any kit from him it's like buying new....
