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 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
