In Reply to: Improving film flatness in Graflex rollholders posted by Bob Stoddard on October 30, 2000 at 17:00:46:Hi!What I did to improve my "23" roll I've read that the RHs
which have micro-rollers in
film back,I found an old MF twin lens
reflex(Yashica Mat)and took off the rollers out of it and installed
them in my back.It's now as good as a RH could be nad even better
because my window is still 2 1/4 X 3 1/4.: film, and they look as
though they would. But they
: also reduce the length of the image, and there are
: many RHs available which don't have them anyway.
: Does anyone know of modifications which have proven
: successful in improving film flatness? I have thought
: of putting strips of a very smooth, slippery plastic
: (Teflon?) in the space between the film support rails,
: the plastic having a thickness equal to the height of
: the film support rails and extending right up to the
: edge of the image aperture.
: This seems such an obvious trick that maybe someone
: has tried it already. RKS
