Hi folks,
I've done a little searching around on this site, but I
haven't found the right answer yet, so here goes:
There is a good chance that I may have (reasonably
permanent) access to a 120 roll back from a Mamiya RZ67
(or maybe it's a RB67, not sure). The back is labeled
"Pro S" and has nice Graflok-type tabs at the top and
the bottom.
I have a 4x5 Pacemaker Speed with a Graflok back. Last
night I tried removing the focusing panel and locking
the Mamiya roll back onto the Speed. Although the
Graflok sliders seemed to lock things in reasonably
well, there was obviously a lot of gap on either side.
My reading here indicates that the back would probably
work on a 2x3 Graphic, but is there any cheap way to
get this back to be light-tight on the Pacemaker 4x5?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
And by the way, the answer "sell the back" is not
valid, unfortunately, because I don't own the back.
Thanks in advance,
Phil Erickson
