It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice gimmick.

Gimmick? Hardly. It is a serious piece of kit!

Is it called a Horseman because you need a packhorse to carry one and a man to take the picture?
No problem with tilt and shift perspectives there I would guess. Have fun.

Well my trusty Bandit 1200 will do the carrying. It is the tilt and shift facility that was my rationale for going down this route. I hate converging verticals!
Fun will certainly be had.

Nice camera anyway - what lens(es) did you get with it?
Good luck

A mate was looking to buy a big 5x4 to 'slow' him down.

It never stopped amazing me to watch this guy tilting and shifting the front and back plates to get just the right perspective with perfectly parallel lines. And he managed a lot more than 2 fph.
Brings back happy memories.

Guess you can call off the hunt for that 28mm shift now then?
Yup, that lens is now on the back burner.
Nice camera anyway - what lens(es) did you get with it?
It came with a 210mm lens (equivalent of a c. 90mm on 35mm) which is not really what I need. I am now looking for something in the c. 90mm range and may well sell the 210mm to pay for it. Although as you know, selling lenses is easier to say than to do...

He had the advantage of knowing what he was doing. I am going to be on a steep learning curve. It is a bit difficult to merge into the background with one of these.

Will do, although it might be a little while before I have something I am happy to post!
Best wishes, Kris.
