Those look very fun. I don't have one, but my similar camera is the Horseman Convertible. It can take any Horseman film back (most of mine are 6x9, but 6x7 and 6x6 also available.) It has a 62mm lens, that is exchangable, but Horseman never made any other lenses for it. Rather than a viewfinder, there is a "eye positioner" (my name) in the cold show, and a pull up metal frame. Open both up, nool through the eye positioner, and the pull up frame marks the extend of the 6x7 62mm point of view.

Hadn't seen the Horseman Convertible before. Very cool! I previously researched the Horseman SW612. Those seem a bit more rugged than a veri-old Veriwide, but I love the compact size of this. The aesthetic matches my Hasselblad too 😁

I got the Horseman because I'd already bought 4 horseman 6x9 roll film backs for the Arca-Swiss 6x9 and Horseman VH cameras. The Convertible I bought came with 2 more backs, so now I have way more than I need (I also have one Horesman back that is branded Arca-Swiss, just because I have a couple AS cameras.) I'm also kind of hoping the figure a way to add a longer lens to it eventually.

Here is mine. Its a bad photo because the normal lens on my iphone is busted and can't focus, so I have to use the wide lens.
