I have a 4x5 Crown w/ a Graflock back. I'm thinking of getting a Grafmatic holder, but I'm confused in one area. Must I remove the ground glass back in order to insert and lock in the Grafmatic? OR Does the Grafmatic slip in between the GG and the camera back frame in the same manner as a cut film holder? (Leaving the GG in place.):-?

Thanks for your input.

It just slips in, Steve. It's pretty thick for the Graphic, but it will accept it.

Acutally it can do both. If you want to lighten the load on that left hand you can remove the GG and lock the Grafmatic on via the slides. The Same is true with the 545 Polaroid back.
