Hi!
Was up at B&H in NYC looking at rollfilm backs, comparing the innards and overall design of the Wista & Horseman 6x7 backs for a 4x5 camera. They seemed pretty similar with the Wista having more features to stabilize the film comng off the spool prior to going to the rollers. Liked the Wista opening catch a little better too. The Wista is a little less $$$ but want to get the b est from your field experience of which I have almost none - newbie at this.
Thanx for your input,
John
