Hi to everybody here!

I just ordered my first large format camera: Graflex Crown Graphic.
I want to order some film holders and an adapter for 120 roll film.

Would any of you have any idea which ones I would need?
Here is my camera:



(I ordered it from here:

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Congratulations on your aquisition !

For 4x5 holders you can use Fidelity or Riteway holders, they're plentiful and inexpensive on the auction site.

Luckily your Crown Graphic has a Graflok back, which you would need to use a roll film back,
press down on the silver bars top and bottom of the focusing frame and slide to the left to
remove, the wider bars top and bottom slide at an angle and are used to lock the roll film back
to the back of the camera. I use a Horseman and a Linhof 120 roll backs with my Graphic,
Calumet roll film backs also work on Graphics.
They come in different aspect ratios - 6x7 and 6x9 so you'll have to decide which one,
6x6 isn't worth it to me but that's a personal preference and I own dedicated 6x6 cameras anyway.

Graflex also made 120 roll film backs but I'm not too familiar with them, someone more familiar may chime in
about them.

You should read up on the Graflex cameras on the home page here, lots of good info.

Roll film holders made by Graflex for 4x5 Graphics with Graflok backs are relatively easy to find. They come in 2 models -- the "23" model will yield 8 exposures measuring 2-1/4 by 3-1/4 in. on one roll of 120 film; the "22" model will yield 12 exposures measuring 2-1/4 by 2-1/4 in.
The big auction site has several listed right now,

Merry Christmas!

KEH lists 2 roll film holders for 4x5 on their site, a 23 Knob Wind and a RH10.

https://www.keh.com/search/list?m=249 (keh.com then under the purchase tab select shop by brand then select Graflex from the list of brands)
