Horseman make a great 6x9 field camera. It has a cute little built-in
viewfinder, plus Horseman offer a drop-dead gorgeous zoom finder for
'em. I saw one used at International Camera with the roll back and
three lenses for $850 (I think...it was a while ago). Anyhow, it was
really really really tempting, and at the time I considered trading in
my 4x5 on it. I'm still considering it, actually, but I'd miss the neg
size of my 4x5 something awful...but when was the last time I really
used it? Copy work...sigh...
Anyhow, the lenses that come with that Horseman are quite compact and
I'm certain that they don't have the coverage of 4x5 lenses...but why
would they need to anyways, right? I don't know if there are a lot of
lenses out there for it.
Oh, and it looked gorgeous, too.
The name pops back into my head: The Horseman VH. I think.

at least I'm sure of my name
