    Horseman VH Fresnel / Shim Question

    Yes, it does extend some into outside the image. The blue is present in all images as is the red. It's strange because I had a towel over the film back in many instances when I took the picture. I'm assuming direction of the sun (in relation to the film back) would play a role into the...

    Horseman VH Fresnel / Shim Question

    Just wanted to close the loop on this thread. I got my 2 test rolls back and the focus was perfectly fine. Everything was sharp and I was pleased with that aspect of my images. Unfortunately, I have two pretty bad light leaks. I have read the orange/red one is behind the film and the blue...

    Horseman VH Fresnel / Shim Question

    I can't rotate my retaining clips 180 degrees. If I do, there is a tiny gap between the GG and the clips. I also tried reversing the order (fresnel on the outside) and noticed a slight difference in focus. Waiting to get my test rolls back before doing anything.

    Horseman VH Fresnel / Shim Question

    Thanks everyone for replying. I was looking for a way to make sure the GG and film were on the same without taking pictures on film. I've already taken two test rolls and sent them off to be developed last week, so I'll see how the sharpness looks on those. I may breakdown and buy another...

    Horseman VH Fresnel / Shim Question

    When I bought my Horseman VH, I bought it from a gentleman that installed a fresnel. It is installed underneath the ground glass. I've done a lot of research and have read the standard method is to install it above the ground glass. Even Horseman's own angle viewer has a fresnel which puts it...

    Hoodman Loupe and Hoodriser - Great Fit for 6x9 Horseman

    I recently started shooting with a Horseman VH 6x9 field camera. I had been doing a lot of research on loupes and what could work for me. The Hoodman Loupe 3.0 came up a little bit but not much. I did read a post several years ago that it worked good for the Horseman (I forget what model the...
