I'm new to the world of LF, and just purchased my first camera - Wista 45SW. I wanted the ease of a folding hood, and ordered the Wista mfr#211112 - which I was told would fit the DX & SW Series backs. The hood arrived today, with a bottle of glue. Um, ok - I assumed (obviously wrong) that Wista's hood would fit the back (one with the male pin extending from each of the fresnel retainers), and lock the hood in place.
The hood has a retaining ring that detaches the hood from the body when the retaining ring is connected to the body. My question; is there another retaining ring that I can get that will utilize the two male pins? In looking through past posts, someone mentioned a "two wire" system where the male pin would slide between the two, and secure the hood to the body. Are these still available? If so, would anyone know where they can be found?
Thank you in advance, and all input would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Dave G.
