		<description>Hannah,
Thank you so much for this manual.
I came across this Comway camera, good British engineering I suppose.
It belonged to my father, he bought it around 1957.
I want to get it to function again.
Regards,
Peter.
Arnhem, Holland.</description>

		<title>Comment on Horseman 980 technical camera &#8211; some thoughts by Adam Lipstadt</title>

		<description>A couple of points-

1)There are several system cameras that will accept 2x3 Graflok style backs.  I own many, perhaps most of them.  Broadly (applies to most of this response):

a)2x3 Graphics (late 30s on)
b)Graflex XL
c)Mamiya Press with fixed G backs (includes the Super 23, albeit rare)
d)Mamiya Universal with G adapter (rare part, often pricey)
e)Mamiya RB67 with standard rotating adapter in several versions
f)Mamiya RZ67 with G adapter (rare part, often pricey)
g)Horseman technical cameras, as above 
h)There are 4x5 -&gt; 6x9 reducing backs.  All have limitations, many shift the imaging plane.
i)It is possible that some 2x3 Graflex SLRs were converted.  I do not know.  I do know that my Super D 4x5 has what appears to be a factory installed Graflok back (and I do know factory installations were done).
j)Arca Swiss monorails (including reflex type)
...and there are others (e.g. Silvestri).

2) As far as rollfilm backs go:

a)Graflok 2? / RH?? in all their knob/lever/roller pin variations
b)Graflex backs.  These will work as Grafloks, but will slide off to the side without a bit of a hack (you need to make an indexing ridge)
c)Early RB67 backs.  Much more rounded than later models. Best balance of modern flatness and light tightness.
d)Late RB67 S/SD backs.  Heavier, more interlocks.  I believe I have an example of all RB67 back models except the two part motor backs (quite intentionally so).
e)Toyo/Horseman/Wista backs.  Often have (removable) screw posts to hitch into the retaining arm.
f)Arca Swiss backs.  Unlike the above, I don&#039;t own any examples.  Look very much like the Japanese backs without the posts.

In general,  the younger the back, the more compatible.  I&#039;ve never had a camera not work with a Graflex (company, not back style) back.  RB67 original backs are very much the same;  I have everything but one of those on hand at the moment - but these are ideal for use on Press/Universals.  When I find it, I&#039;ll try it on my 970.  If memory serves, they work.  There are no hard and fast rules beyond that.  I should make a chart.

3)A Horseman 980 (or any other, excluding the RF-less models) does have a way of providing focus distance.  Assuming you are using a lens from the system (e.g. a Tokyo Kogaku 105/3.5) the matching focal length cam dropped in the bed will not only allow the RF system to work, but push a needle along a distance scale.  Cams are a pain to find.

3.5) Failing that, I suppose a Vernier scale can be made.  Um, good luck? :)

4)Lots of companies made RF coupled 6x9 technical cameras. Graphics, Technikas, B&amp;J Watsons, Pressmans, etc.

		<description>You mean there are no marks on the print as it leaves the fixer, and they appear when it comes into contact with water? That sounds odd :S</description>

		<description>I run a black and white lab at Laney College and we&#039;re starting to get black spots on both the front and back of the prints as soon as the print hits the holding bath. All the chemistry has been freshly made and all the tongs are new and there&#039;s nothing that can be seen in the water.</description>
