Sheer weight is sometimes an issue. Not all camera backs will accommodate something like
the Sinar or Linhof without something flexing, if it fits at all. The Horseman is agreeable light, and I've seen clean ones for sale quite reasonably if one is patient. Just make certain you film plane on the camera itself is accurate (not always the case with wooden
field cameras). The Horseman weighs a pound even. But with most cameras you have to
remove the back to use it.
