Does the Horseman direct viewer or the Horseman (non-foldable) reflex viewer use an adapter plate that is compatible with the foldable reflex viewer?
My problem is my foldable reflex viewer...
I recently purchased a folding Horseman reflex view for my Horseman FA. After it arrived I realized it did not have the adapter plate that attaches the viewer to the camera. I'm looking for an...
Thanks for the info. I find the lack of movements on the FA frustrating even though it is a nice camera. I will order the Chamonix. I originally bought the FA because I have a horseman VHR 6x9 ...
Yes, I'd like to see a chamonix but am not sure if anyone in the Reno/Tahoe area has one. The problem I have with the Singh-Ray P- ND grad is that with lenses that do not extend beyond the bed the...
I am considering selling my horseman FA and ordering a Chamonix 4x5. The horseman is a fine camera but I suspect the Chamonix is more practical with its movements and wider range of lenses that are...
A few years ago I purchased an APO lanthar 150mm for $300 due to the poor condition of the coating. I dropped it with John Van Stelton to be recoated. He did fine work.
I just order 4 boxes of T55 from polaroid. On Feb 11 they had 900 boxes. When I ordered this evening (2/14) there were 5 boxes left.
This a great trip. I went on a 6 boat private 21 day trip pulling out at Lake Mead. I ended up solo in my cataraft and did not want to risk my 4x5 and wanted something simple. I took an old fuji G...
Thanks to all for the feedback.

I am considering an extended lensboard for my horseman FA. I saw a chinese board with the 35mm and 45mm options. I realize the rear element of some large lenses will not fit into the extension. ...
Eventually $ money!
Thanks for all the useful information. Yes, I do have the Graflex type and it does have a small profile of a camera imprinted as well as the Cat.no. 1168. Earlier this evening before the...
I recently purchased a Horseman FA. I decided to use a grafmatic film holder and found one at a local camera store. Unfortunately, when I attempted to put it on my camera it is too wide. I did a...
I actually have another question about this Horseman FA. I use a reflex viewer with my Horseman VHR and find it useful. What reflex viewers seem to work best with the 4x5 FA. I notice the cambo...
I recently purchased a Horseman FA. I plan on using a 6x12 roll film holder as well as 4x5. The camera is in good shape but the ground glass has a piece broken out from the upper right corner and...
I have a Horseman VHR and use the schneider 135 repro claron lens. It is small and works well.
I have the 105 nikkor M lens and agree it is a nice lens. I located mine in the classifieds of shutterbug a couple years ago and paid $275 it had the original box and looked new. It replaced my...
Is anyone familiar with the quality of the 105mm 3.5 Nikkor- M lens. I know it was designed for 2x3 cameras but that is about it. Any info. appreciated. Ray
Howard- I have the VHR horseman and checked the rangefinder against the ground glass focus and found it too be extremely accurate. I still prefer to focus on the glass it is nice to have the...
I recently had my APO Lanthar 150 recoated and though it was only a single coating it solved the problem of severe cleaning marks sustained from the previous owner. I used John van Stelten and am ...
I use a 135 mm Repro Claron on my 2x3 Horseman and it works nicely. A used repro claron is reasonably priced and the lens is very compact. I understand the possiblilites are greater with a 4x5.
I think $650 is a good price. I can add that the reflex viewer is a great item to have. I find it much easier to use than the ground glass especially in the bright sun light. There are lots of...
I have a horseman VHR 2x3 camera and am interested in shooting some square (6x6) transparencies to use in a projector. Does anyone make a 6x6 back for a 2x3 ca mera? I have heard there is a graflex...
I have a linhof 270 tele-xenar in a compur. I use it on my horseman VHR and I like it though general opinion prefers the tele-arton. My tele-xenar is coated and the shutter is a strange size...
I purchased a mint Nikkor SW 65 on a horseman recessed board with a cam for $600. I almost purchased instead a mint rodenstock 65 which was never actually used for $550. My advice is to be...
I recently obtained a manual for my Horseman VHR directly from Horseman. I found their website and e-mailed them. It was only a photocopy but there was no charge.
Thanks to all who contributed opinions to my question. I have decided to go with the 105 Nikkor -M which I found at a resonable price. Ray Fenio
Let me narrow my question somewhat. I am considering lenses in the 90 to 120 range such as the 100 APO symmar, 105 Nikkor, etc. I mention the fuji GW690 only because I borrowed one from a friend...
I have a Horseman VHR with the horseman pro 105 lens. I am interested in upgrad ing and seek any opinions about which focal length and which lens gives the best image. I have a nikkor 65 and a 270...
