Will Toyo focusing hoods work on Horseman cameras?

[Matt Docis]

This has probably been asked and answered in one form or another, but I couldn't find it. Will a Toyo balloon focusing hood work on a Horseman camera and/or vice versa? Thanks.

I have a Horseman 45HF and two Toyo focusing hoods. The common folding one and a one-eye-loup made of rubber. What you mean with the balloon hood, I don't know, but as these will fit, it would be strange if some other Toyo hood wouldn't. ( OTOH, these will not fit the 4x5Cambo Wide) Jan.

On a similar line of query, are the 4x5 Toyo viewing accessories interchangeable with the Linhof viewers?

Walter, I'm afraid they aren't. The pin diameter and the positioning aren't the same. But they can be adapted with some machining, that's what I have done to modify a Horseman viewer to fit Linhof.
