| FrankS Joined: 28 Jan 2003 Posts: 27 |  Posted: Mon Mar 22, 2004 12:59 amI have a 4x5 "Graflex", not a "Grafic" Grafmatic back. It has all 6 film septums. Some septums are dinged or scratched, but none are bent or kinked, so they cycle smoothly in the holder. Exposure counter works as does the frame number wheel. I just saw the "no sales" sign on the help board so I edited my post just to tell you about this back I have that doesn't fit my camera. How come the administrater/ moderators can sell, and the rest of us can't? They even have a specific catagory: ******* by Graflex.org. Could a catagory such as this be created for the rest of us? Would this not be helpful and useful? _________________ ...preferring to be on the shiny side of the film, Frank S. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: FrankS on 2004-03-21 17:19 ]</font> <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: franks on 2004-03-21 17:23 ]</font> |

This is NOT a democracy! You can use the Search function to see this has been discussed in the past. Nobody ever said life is fair - here anyway! Just enjoy what IS available. |

Whoever pays to host the site gets to set the rules, of course. Any of us can start our own, if we wish. I do think that some sort of BBS for swapping and seeking would be feasible, but someone would have to set it up. If they don't want to do it, I for one will remain grateful for what they are doing. |
