I'm a new member.
Anyone out there know where I can find information on obtaining the adapters needed to mount an RH-50 on my XLRF. My back does not have the plate with the 4 pins (it has the 4 screw holes for the adapter). Do the other RH backs have similar adapters?

You need the back with the 2 sliding locks and 4 pins. As far as I know all RH 2x3 backs mount on this back. I know the RH can be used on both the XL and 2x3 graphics with no mod. I call the back you need a graflok, which includes the focus panel, and hood if it is complete. Check e-bay they show up from time to time. Russ

Thanks Russ. The RH50 is different than the other backs (except the polaroid) in that it mounts directly onto the camera body after the graflok back is removed. What I need are the square racks that have the 4 steel pegs. These are attached to the RH50, which is then mounted to the camera body and locked in place. I wish I had a part name or number, and I wonder if the rack from the polaroid would fit on the RH50?

These are part of the RH-50 back NOT the XL camera(s)!
