  Q: 1. Can you please mention all items needed to build the complete system for Canon SLR body?The picture does not show that, neither the description does. I hate guesswork.

  A: The Horseman VCC PRO View Camera Converter for Canon comes with everything you need to connect the camera converter to a Canon DSLR camera body. As indicated under the In The Box section on our website, the following items are included with the Horseman VCC PRO View Camera Converter for Canon:In the BoxHorseman VCC PRO View Camera Converter for CanonVCC PRO DSLR Adapter for CanonVCC PRO Lens Panel for M39 LensesLimited 1-Year WarrantyThe only other item you would need would be the lens adapter to connect the type lens you own onto the VCC PRO View Camera Converter. Unfortunately, you do not list the brand/model medium format or large format lens you own, so you would have to e-mail prophoto@bhphotovideo.com with the brand/type of your lens so we could recommend the correct lens adapter for your needs. You may also view the Accessories tab on the page to view the lens adapters available for use with the above system.

  Q: 2. does it come with a lens board?

  A: This camera does not include a lens board.

  Q: 3. We have used all PortaBrace bags in the past, but I'm considering this because it looks like the dimensions are well-suited to my application. How does it compare in quality and toughness? It has to be able to handle heavy use (and some abuse).

  A: They are definitely tough. If you go to any photo rental company in the U.S. or in much of the world, they have stacks of Air Cases and Car Cases. If they can hold up in rental, they will hold up anywhere.

  Q: 4. Would this camera be suitable for tintype photography?

  A: Yes, the Toyo-View 45AX 4 x 5" Field Camera can be used for Tintype Photography.

  Q: 5. What is the height of the Tenba CCV45 case? The stated internal dimensions in the product specs for the Tenba CCV45 case are listed at 12 x 15 x 21.5in but they were not specific to what each number was referencing. Obviously the 21.5in length is easy to discern from the product photos but width and height less so. It my intention is to use this case for a 4x5 monorail view camera (Calumet CC 402 wide field). Since in this type of case the monorail view camera is hung upside down and resting on the case’s dividers I would need approximately 13in or so of internal height clearance for this to work. If this case is 15in tall then all would appear to be fine. However if the case is only 12in tall then the camera would not fit.

  A: 21.5W X 12H X 15D

  Q: 6. I have a set of view camera lenses which I use with my Toho 4 X 5 vew camera. How do I use these lenses with this VCC Pro?

  Q: 8. What would be the focal length for a “normal” lens for a Canon DSLR. About 50 mm?

  Q: 10. Can you please mention all items needed to build the complete system for Hasselblad H digital back?The picture does not show that, neither the description does. I hate guesswork.

  A: The Horseman LD Pro Series Mounting Plate for Hasselblad H Mount Digital Backs (B&H # HOHHMP), would be required to connect the Hasselblad H digital back onto the Horseman VCC PRO DB View Camera Converter. However, I cannot indicate which lens adapter you will need because it was not indicated above which brand/model lens you own. As such, you would have to e-mail prophoto@bhphotovideo.com with your inquiry and the brand/model of your large format lens so we may identify the correct lens adapter for your needs.
