I'm contemplating on purchasing a 6x12 back for my Wisner 4x5 Expedition. I've read that the Horseman is the most recommended in this format, outside the Sinar which is too expensive. What accessories MUST I purchase in order to use this particular back with my camera. For example, the current ground glass on my Expedition does not have 6x12 "guides". Will I need to purchase a ground glass that does? My camera is spring loaded as well. Will this be a problem? Are there any gotchas I should be aware of before making this purchase? Last, I've read that film depths vary between large format camera brands (i.e., Toyo, Linhof, etc.). I'm not sure what the film depth specification for a Wisner camera is; however, the Horseman is configured for a film depth of 4.95. Should I be concerned if they are different? How much difference is acceptable (i.e., avoiding out of focus images)?
Thanks in advance,
...Wade...
