: Quick question: I am aware of roll film backs for
: EITHER 120 OR 220 film to fit a 4x5 Graflok back. The
: format size is 2 1/4 x 2 3/4. My question is: Were
: backs made with the ability to use BOTH 120 and 220
: film in the same back and have an adjustment on the
: film plane to allow for different film thickness due
: to the paper backing on 120 and lack thereof on 220?
: Would really appreciate an answer to this!
: Thanks
The honest answer to the question is.. sort of. the back is made of two items, the insert and the wrap around part which I will call the back. The back itself is interchangable between RH10 and RH20 inserts. (this back does the masking, so its not interchangable with either a 6x6 or 6x9cm insert since the counter and spacing will be wrong) The insert, that contains the counter, is unique to the film type. So with one back and two inserts you can shoot both. Chances are you'll end up buying two backs, since inserts only are hard to find.
