ellis jordan bojar Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 It appears that the Horseman Folding Binocular Viewer has been discontinued, as it is not availible from either the new North American distributor, nor the old European one. That's a shame because A> this seems to be the prefered viewer everyone retrofit to even non-Horseman cameras and B> I wanted one. I've checked the obvious places (and some less obvious ones) but they seem to have vanished off the earth. Is there an adequate replacement anyone can recommend of similar quality and price? Or a vendor who still has these for sale you could point me to? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdkirk Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Toyo sells a non-folding binocular viewer that directly fits Horseman, although the Horseman viewer is much nicer. I'll sell you my Toyo. Have you checked KEH.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis jordan bojar Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 The build quality on the Toyo viewer is OK, but not great, based on the one I've seen. The Toyo was a good starter camera for me, but not one I really *enjoyed* using. The Toyo gear all seems similarly clunky to me. The Horseman gear seems elegant in comparison, though not a slick as, say, the Sinar (at three times the price). KEH, and the other usual suspects, have viewers that are slightly damaged, but no new or unused. I'd like to start with something relatively untouched, and bang it up myself...

neil_morris Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I know that this message was from a year ago but I am selling one. I was just trawling the net trying to find another one to see what price they fetch before putting it on ebay (together with my 54FA). Respond if still interested or any information as to what it's worth would be good (I can't find another either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_morris Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 For the future information of readers I sold my Horseman mirror back on ebay July'07 for ?300. It's a digital future for me now as I have no (working) film camera left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
