Hi,
I just found out that a ShenHao HZX viewcamera and a Fuji PA-145 may not be a perfect match.... I recently purchased a PA-145 back to use Fuji FP100C with my 4x5 and in the beginning all went well. I shot 1.5 packs, but today I got the bill for extending the spring back that far ...
I was sitting on my sofa when I heard a 'clunk' noise from where my camera sits. Sure enough, when I had a look, the whole back had falling off. This was without anything in the back for 2 days (no PA-145 and no film holder). Basically the wooden frame came apart on one side where the spring is attached. I really hope I will be able to glue that back in.

So anyone out there using a HZX 45 and thinking about the PA-145, you may want to skip this idea, unless you fabricate a different back for the ShenHao ...
