WIll Toyo View quick roll slider for Graphic fit Horseman 45hd?

[crumpet8]

Does anybody have one of these? What’re the dimensions of the back plate? Or will it fit a horseman field camera?

I have one for sale, if you're looking. The backplate is the same size as the Toyo 4x5 standard fitting - 158mm square. The plate is held with screws, so you can exchange it for a Horseman plate. Take a lens board and cut out the opening. Or you can get a difficult-to-find Toyo>Sinar adapter.
Horseman makes a rotary back that takes "Baby" Horseman 6x7 and 6x9 roll film holders.I don't have the rotary back, but I do have the film holders for sale.

I have one that I modified to fit my 4x5 ArcaSwiss.It was very easy, just make up a blank plate and screw it on, you will have no problem fitting it to any large format camera

Great thanks! I haven’t seen one of these in real life’s, but it looks like there’s a small ground glass that lies on the same plane as the film back plane so I don’t have to worry about that distance being the same as when I use 4x5 cassettes?

That is correct you are focussing on the 6x9 ground glass the film holder slides in place of it when you take a photo, the original TOYO plate is held In place with anumber of small screws. All you do is make or find a blank plate to fit (I cut mine from the outer case of a old computer network router which was made of nice aluminium plate) cut a hole to fit the TOYO slider, then mark and drill the plate for the screws.

Hi John,

I am exactly in this situation and would love to be able to do what you have suggested, but was wondering if you could provide more specific instructions, perhaps pictures too
How do you get the made up "horseman" plate to go into the grooves and corners of the rear standard of the camera? Especially making it light tight.

I understand the idea of using a lensboard but I'd rather hang on to my lensboards and use what you have suggested.

thanks in advance!
