Title: FS: Horseman 4X5 Digital Ready
Post by: BobDavid on May 23, 2008, 09:14:23 pm
[attachment=6751:attachment]Horseman LE 4X5 view camera. This is a very clean camera. The gears on the rise/fall, shifts, and focus are smooth; the friction swings & tilts are also smooth, and the bubble levels are fine.

Included with this camera:

*flawless bag bellows
*27mm recessed lensboard for #0 shutter
*flat lensboard for #0 shutter
*sliding back for digital medium format backs with Hasselblad V plate mount (the round gizmo)
*clean 4X5 ground glass/film holder
*an old, but reliable, hard case

A standard bellows can be obtained inexpensively on ebay (uses either Sinar or Horseman boards and bellows).

This is a wonderful setup for either film or digital in the studio, on a copystand, and in the field. I used the camera with a mutli-shot digital back. The camera is rock-steady, accurate, and a pleasure to work with.
 
$1,100 includes shipping and paypal/credit card fees (lower 48 US only).

Could I mount a Mamiya Digiback?

Do you have any lenses to sell with it?

How much would shipping being to Brooklyn, NY?

The sliding back adaptor is machined for the Hasselblad V mount. I rather doubt, although I'm not certain, that there are Hasselblad V plates available for Mamiya digibacks.

I do not have any lenses to sell with the kit.

 It would probably cost around $75 to ship the kit to Brooklyn via FedEx ground.

I will entertain all serious offers. I plan on listing this kit on Ebay by the end of next week.

Will a 35mm Sinaron Digital work with this one? Or what was the shortest lens you´ve used on it?
Thanks,
Rainer

A 35mm will work fine. In fact, the Horseman LE is the best of all of the Horseman 4X5 view cameras for short focal length lenses.
