Hello.
I have just bought my first 10x8 camera, a Horseman, (not entirely sure of the model). It was pretty cheap, came with a lens and seems to be in fairly good condition so I can't really complain.
I've come to the conclusion though there's something odd about the front standard. Specifically unless it is at maximum rise it's not centred on the rear. Have I been sold a camera with an incorrect front standard (presumably one for a 5x4 camera) or is this just what they are like? From doing a bit of googling it seems like they usually have a spacer on the front to bring it up to the same level but I don't know if that was a later addition or not.
Any help most welcome, including if any of you have modified yours or have a service manual for the camera, I am not against machining a part to raise it up.
