The Horseman ER-1 manufactured by Komamura is a 6x9 format technical/field/press camera which takes roll film in interchangeable backs. It allows movements/adjustments to correct for various distortions and to control the plane of sharp focus. Being a field camera, it is similar to a view camera but more compact and with fewer adjustments. In common with many press cameras it has a viewfinder and rangefinder to allow handheld use. The ER-1 was introduced at Photokina 1984..
