I have a Horseman 985 that I have not used, I have the manual for the 120 backs and the Polaroid back but I don't have a Manual for the camera body. I must admit I am rather timid when handling it. Most functions are obvious like adjusting shutter and f-?, the lenses are color coded, But with the rangefinder I am a little lost. I do have a ground glass attachment but need to learn about the RF.

Any input would be helpful........

Always worth looking first here:

A small donation is asked to keep the site alive - sure you can spare a few bucks ;-)

And no, it's not my site.
