I am sorry but could you elaborate a bit more, so I can understand? What do you mean by "the handling of the grooves" ? Thank you so much

Yes, of course! But how ? I've never done anything quite like it. Should I use scissors? A cutter ? Precision Laser? I think it is a plastic based material.

Thanks

Hello!

Suppose your best friend and colleague is willing to give you his spare Ultra Brilliant Hi Lux screen by Bill Maxwell almost for free.

But it's long by 2 mm, because your friend was...

Hi Bob, yes, but that one is monocular and does not have a variable mirror inclination, which are such major improvements for me when working.

Hello Bob, many thanks for your answer. I have considered that, but the truth is that the Horseman is the best one. It's collapsible, light, binocular (a big advantage compared to the monocular) and...

Hello everyone!

I am trying to understand if there is a chance for me to use my super useful Horseman collapsible reflex viewer on my Wista 45VX without having to modify any of the parts.

At...

:D Thanks David ! So you have to hold onto the film via the side edges !!!

Hi Schaf! Got it. All clear.
So basically 99.5 of GG measurement, in it's shortest side, might be too big to fit perfectly in the Toyo 45CF Graflock back.
Many thanks for your kind help.

Hello Shaf !

Thank you for your reply and for introducing me to this part of the Forum : )

In regards to the measurements of your GG, I don't quite understand the 192.5mm length... it seems a...

Hi everyone !

A little bit off topic but can someone tell me what is the minimum size Ground glass a Wista SP or VX can accept in it's graflok frame (length and width wise)?
Thanks,

Hello everyone : )

Can someone point me out in the right direction on where I can get a custom cut cheap Fresnel screen?
It has to be cheap, so please don't recommend Bill Maxwell, with all due...

Hello everyone, I need some help. I just purchased a Horseman collapsible binocular reflex viewer and would like to know, if someone knows, with what cameras it should be compatible. I am attaching...

Dear Ari, I am replying to this "old" thread as I see that you have been using a Yanke viewing set in recent times.

I am thinking of purchasing one for my Horseman 45HD, which originally came...

Thank you for reply - on the quote you sent me it says that the 45HD came with a Fresnel, and mine indeed has one ! But, just to clarify, does this sound like correct?

Hello!

Can anyone who owns a Horseman 45HD help me double check something, please ?

I am trying to find out if, in the original assembly of the camera back, when the Horseman 45HD were...

Can someone please tell me the inside measurements (l+w) of the part of the viewer where the other part, the frame that holds the ground glass, locks inside.

I have attached an image in which you...

Amazing Kumar ! thank you so so much !

Hello is there anyone currently using, or has anyone ever used, a binocular reflex viewer with a Toyo 45CF model?

I am considering purchasing a Toyo 45CF model, for it's light weight, but the...

Thanks everyone for these amazing recommendations. The Intrepid seems really interesting, from a weight point of view, and also from a price point of view !

But what is the lightest camera that...

Does anyone know which one is the lightest 4x5 field / folding camera that has a rotating back ?
Thank you !
Pietro

Xkaes .... Almost.

Dear Xkaes ! thank you for your reply. In 35mm format, I find 35mm is nice for a portrait with at least 3 people (like a small group), and certainly not full figure portraits. Instead, when you are...

Dear Vaughn, thank you for your reply. I will scan the negatives and print them too. I am interested in seeing images shot with a 150 and a 135, both landscapes and portraits, to form an opinion on...

Hello Michael !

Sorry, maybe I wasn't precise enough when I was writing what I would have liked to accomplish with this post. I didn't mean to see the same image shot with two different lenses....

Hello !

I am in the process of getting a slightly longer than my 90mm lens for my 4x5 system and am very undecided between 135 and 150 focal lengths. I know that these are very close in terms of...

Hi Tim, Randy and Jim!
Thanks.
You are right, I forgot to mention that I am using a 4x5 camera, with film (not a digital back).
