Hey everyone,
I just picked up a Graflex 4x5 with serial #326148 from Seawood Photo in San Anselmo, California. Graham, the salesperson, told me it was a Military (circa WWII) crown graphic. However, it has a the Rear Focal Plane Shutter, which tells me it might be a Speed Graphic...?
Anyway, it doesn't have the standard Graflok Spring back and instead, has some sort of removeable back system that takes non-standard 4x5 Riteway film holders.
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace this film back, with a standard Graflok 4x5 Spring Back? And would it fit right in, or would it require modifications, and who does that kind of work???
Please let me know, I'm desperate to get this working before I leave for a residency.
Thanks!
