Hi Brian

I have the Horseman HF the pre model of the FA wich is a very precise and light and small instrument much smaller then the Linhof Technikas.
The small lensboards makes it not possible to use lenses with copal 3 shutters and the bellows is also on the short side about 280mm so for my 300mm APO Ronar I need an extention lensboard for it.
So if you will use lenses from 75mm to 210-250mm then you will be very happy with it in the field and on the street!
