Re: Horseman SW 612 & also 47mmXL

["Mitchell P. Warner" <indepth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joel,

	About the Horseman claims for the sw612 and the seemingly missing 4mm
moves.  

		I don't know!

BUT, look at this page 

http://horsemanusa.com/pd_frame031.html

and you'll find, down near the bottom, NO CLAIM for movementw with the 45mm
lens on the 6x12 back, 

AND that the horizontal angle of view for the 45mm lens on the 612 back is
108°, not the otherwise listed 110.   Not a big deal, but bit by bit.......


	Please try going to the Horseman hm page:

	http://horsemanusa.com/

and droping them an e-mail with your observations.
