[LargeFormat] Survey of Field Cameras (was Wisner and Ebony Field Cameras)

[Les Newcomer]

Because the bellows is collasped, the major shift (side knobs) is pretty 
much dead, but there is an on-axis shift in the front. By unlocking the 
small knob on the front standard (not the sides) you can gain whatever 
that honking rear  cell will let you. And because it's on-axis, you can 
tilt down to get the flowers, faces, etc in focus, then shift up to 
eliminate those obnoxious nephews in the foreground that got huge.
