I'm confused as usual...
I have just got a Horseman 6x12 back but can't figure out how to use it / fit it.
I reaslise you have to take the GG off the camera (I'd be using it on a Chamonix 45N) and the back fits snuggly where it was but what's s'posed to hold it in place as it has no fittings to go into the sprung retainers. Is it a case of having to make something to hold it there?
In use would you compose on the GG with a home made mask over it and then remove the glass, fit the roll holder and then shoot as normal? I assume the film plane is the same as the GG?
I found the instructions elsewhere on this site but it doesn't cover the actual fitting so any help would be most appreciated.
