Howdy Everybody,

Just a quick question about roll film backs, yesterday I purchased a Graplex "22" back for 4 X 5 off ebay, what I am confused about is this, in looking at the information on this web site about "22" backs is they are only listed as a 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 picture size on 120 film which is 6cm X 6cm, but this particular one is listed as 6cm X 9cm, which is 2 1/4 X 2 3/4 and in looking at the pictures of the item, it is indeed 6 X 9, which I don't seem to be able to find any information about this particular back. Have I found an oddball? here is a picture below.

Thanks for any help.

Dave Parker

Graflex used the same opening on all of their "Graphic XX" series holders. Pull the darkslide and you'll probably see a 2x2 opening. also look at the counter if it goes to 8 its 2 1/4 x 3 1/4, If it goes to 10 then its 2 1/4 x 1 3/4, If it goes to 12 then you have a poor man's hasselblad

Independent verification time: I just got my 22 today. It does indeed have a 2x3 opening on the front, but only 2x2 behind the slide.

Amusing (well, to you...) anecdote time: I actually figured out how to load the thing on the first try, with a new, unexposed roll of Tri-X (camera shop was out of TMax). The first frame is still unexposed--while winding it to frame #2, I noticed I hadn't pulled the dark slide. First time I've had film in the Graphic, and I make the stupidest mistake possible. :roll:
