Horseman Rotary Back Model I For 6x9 Graflok

Horseman Rotary Back
Model I for 6x9 Graflok

The Horseman Rotary Back Model I was designed and intended for the Horseman 980, 985, VH and VH-R cameras.

The rotary back allows the attaching of various roll film holders, ground glass focusing screens, sheet film holders, the Horseman 6x9 Polaroid back, Horseman 4x5 backs, and just about any other device designed for a 6x9 Graflok.

I have used the Horseman Rotary Back Model 1 on my Cambo SC1 6x9 View Camera, allowing me to attach the 4x5 back, and thus the Polaroid 405 back.  Though this was a bit of work, it allowed me to shoot Polaroid type 100. 

Although there is no Ground Glass Adapter included in this auction, I will provide the winner with simple information on how to make a pretty accurate ground glass adapter for a pretty low cost upon request.  The back is very useful without the ground glass even though for critical focusing you will definitely want one.  To use the Horseman Rotary Back Model I without ground glass, you focus by using your cameras native ground glass, then before attaching the rotary back, you simply move your lens backwards by exactly 25mm, as the Horseman Rotary Back adds 25mm to your focal length.

Note For Graphic users and Mamiya G-Adapter users: This may seem confusing, but for those using a Mamiya Press with a G-Adapter or a Graphic 2x3 camera, Horseman devices do not natively attach, even though devices that do attach to your G backs will fit a Horseman G back. Please make sure that you can use Horseman devices before bidding. I have read that you can loosen the screws in your sliders, but please try this solution first.

The winner of this auction must render payment within 12 hours of the auctions end. Though I ship daily, please allow the following day for me to ship should your payment be rendered after 2:00PM Pacific Time. The Horseman Rotary Back will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail, worldwide. First Class may be available for International shipments. 

Thank you for looking and please, feel free to message me should you have any questions, comments, updates or suggestions.
