I have an Ebony 4x5 (RSW 45), and still getting up to speed with using it. The ground glass focusing back on the Ebony is attached to the camera using 2 "arms" that apparently provide it with some sprung movement to separate it by approx 1/4-1/2" from the camera body itself.
What is the purpose of this? I am assuming it's so that you can slide in a film holder onto the camera without having to remove the ground glass focusing back every time you take a photo? That's what i thought, but trying to get a Fuji QL holder into this space seems very, very tight, so I stopped in case I damaged the sprung-loaded focusing back.
Any suggestions? Many thanks.
