    Here is a link to some information:

    http://www.cameramanuals.org/prof_pdf/wista_m450.pdf

    It appears to be a sales brochure rather than a service manual but it might give you an idea of how it should all go together.

    This is another brochure which has some pictures. It is written in Swedish but I hope the photos are useful"

    Hi Bruno,

    There were different sliding adapters for different models of the Wista field cameras. I know that the adapters for the VX and RF do not fit the SP and 45N and 45D. The backs were also different!

    I guess you'll have to wait a few days, then
    Or you could download the other Wista manuals from the cameramanuals.org link that Jeff provided, and see which camera your back fits.
