I have a 4x5 Speed Graphic and Graphic View II, both
with Graflok backs. I bought another Graphic View II
to get the recessed lens board and 90mm W.A. Optar off
of it. This camera also had a 6x9 Graflok reducing
back on it. I plan to sell this camera after I take
what I want off of it.
I would like to be able to shoot 120 roll color film
in both cameras. I know I can get a 23 or RH8 for a
4x5 Graflok back, but I think I would like to go the
Mamiya RB67 120 Pro S route.
My questions are; Can I somehow use a Mamiya 120 back
on the 4x5 Graflok? Will the Mamiya 120 back fit the
6x9 reducing back? Is the Mamiya RB67 back available
only as 6X7 format? Would the 6x9 reducing back be
worth keeping? If I kept it, I will have to sell the
GVII with no back, which might reduce its value
greatly. And FINALLY, are there any other alternatives
that you recommend?
Thanks for your attention,
