Which should be really convenient in the midst of a remote landscape like Glencoe - unless you like carrying a battery and inverter as well as the rest of the kit

Actually it's quite unique Joanna. No batteries needed, you wind a small control which is in fact a tiny generator which in turn drives a motor.

It has a reducing back for those who want a small format for field work. The 10x8 inch reducing back accepts Horseman's new motorised 10x8 rollfilm back.

Hang on. You mean, to avoid turning a focusing handle, you fit a motorised mechanism that requires you to turn a handle to make it work? Methinks Uncle Barry has stopped taking his tablets
