Hi guys,
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I am going to stick with the ebony route for now..swapping my SW45 for the more compact SW23 as soon as I come across a used one.
When taking into account in order of importance:
1.Cameras ability to do what I need...ie tilt and swing that really rules out most of the possible competition including the upcoming arca r.
2.lens options
3.size, weight.
4.and of course cost..
This seems like the best option available now..it also leaves me a lot of money for my film, processing, scaning and even the posibility of an older db.
Thanks again for all your help and you'll be able to see the start of the results on my website in a few months time.
