Wong and Whaley's Clinical Manual of Pediatric Nursing by Caryn S. Hess, Donna L. Wong (1999, Paperback)

Of all the different 4x5 cameras made by Ebony, this is the most interesting. It is a non folding camera with an ebony wood body. The metal parts are titanium for toughness, lightness and non corrosion. It has a cordovan (horsehide) strap and aluminum knobs. The 45SU will take the widest lenses made for 4x5 such as a 47mm Schneider. It will focus a 360mm lens at infinity. The weight is 5 lbs and it will fit in a medium size camera bag. The lens does not have to be removed between uses.
For those of you not familiar with view cameras, it takes a 4 inch by 5 inch sheet of film, either color or black and white. The film is loaded in a filmholder in the darkroom in advance of the shoot. It will also accept Polaroid and ready pack films. You mount almost any view camera lens on it, do a reading with a (separate) light meter, and expose the film.
The U designation means that it has asymmetrical tilts. This is a system which permits you to focus, tilt the camera back, and have the picture remain in focus. It is a time and nuisance saver.
Ebony is one of the most respected names in cameras. They are made in a small workshop in Tokyo Japan by a group of fanatically dedicated craftsmen working under the supervision of Hiromi Sakanashi, the camera designer.
