The Horseman 970 does swing. I have one and use swing all the time. With the lens pointing towards you, if you look at the front standard, on the right hand side, just below the standard there is a small silver lever. Push the lever down and it releases the swing. Now it does lock solid, it just uses resistance to hold the swing, but it works quite effectively.
This has got to be the very best "answer/notification" i read in about years and years! And I dare say that you are completely right! I guess that that's a point "up" to the Topcom. Please do tell me that she can also "shift" so I can just go there and caress her (I have her set up just right in front of me) due to my "own stupidity". I wonder what took the engineers behind Topcom to put everything on knobs, and to leave this thing out to be a "lever" that you have to press it down (I did went to the camera confirm! hehehehe) . you want to know something funny? I thought it was a pull lever to completely remove the front part and therefore do the maintenance on the bellows :) I doadmit that you teached me something new today, and my hat is off to you! Many MANY thanks for this Paul!
Thanks, I will try it in 35mm format and put it in Rodinal
Unlike HP5, on this Ortho400 you can use Rodinal without any problem :)
