I recently got a nice Horseman Woodman here on LFF (thanks, Ed!), and would like to know from other members who used this camera whether it's advisable to use Grafmatics on the camera without taking off the ground glass.
Namely, Horseman Woodman has a Graflok back (accepts Graflok accessories, like medium format backs, etc.), and I can slide the Grafmatic under the ground glass OK, no big problems.
However, Grafmatic being thicker than an ordinary film holder, I wonder whether it's advisable to use Grafmatic this way (sliding it under GG)? The ground glass springs are tensioned/stressed more than usual, and I wonder if there's a danger of breaking those springs...
Has anyone used Grafmatics on this camera this way? - I'd like to know whether it's safe to use it like that...
Removing the ground glass in order to use a Grafmatic is a bit of pain... but still better than breaking those ground glass springs
