I'm not sure where I'd start! There was a community hack space near me a while back (may still be) but not sure how much it would cost to get that much time on a 3d printer.
No problem bud. I didn't make it RB compatible because I haven't got an RB back and I'm selfish like that ;0) I did the same for my lens and took it from an old Ensign folder. There are better lenses out there but seeing as it was free, I compromised!
If you can give me the sizes, I can adjust my model to fit an RB back assuming it's the same basic design as my 23 Graphic which has a flat face and a 6x9 opening with a dark slide.
Ok, so the RB back has two holes built in for the posts to go into?
Ok, having now sold my Pen FT I've got some funds available to start looking for a genuine Horseman instead of building my own. Has anyone here ever owned one and have any thoughts/feedback about them? I've been watching a VH from Japan for a while which is within budget and more the model I was looking at (no rangefinder) but I've also seen what looks like a 970 in the UK which £100 less but has a non-original 105mm lens so the RF may not align properly. All ideas appreciated!
Following on from the light leaks, the lens really isn't that sharp and flares! I've only ever put a couple of rolls of film through the original Ensign where I took the lens from and they were equally soft so again, I'm willing to forgive the 90 year old lens :0) Ideally, I'd like to replace the lens with something more modern with better coating to reduce flare
