What should I look for and what should I stay away from? I just aquired this camera and I would like to shoot 120 roll film as much as possible. Thank you. | ||

Oh, and if you think rollbacks are hard to find, wait till you hunt for sheet film! <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: alecj on 2002-02-19 10:38 ]</font> | ||

If you're willing to live with an Adapt-A-Roll 620 (follow the link for accessories you were directed to by an earlier response), I have a 3x4 one that will sooner or later be offered *******. Not sure when I'll get around to it, and per graflex.org's rules am NOT offering it here or now. If your camera has a spring (Graphic) back, one of these is your best bet. Mine is not the only one in the universe. If your camera has a Graflok back, you ought to be able to find a 3x4 shell with a 6x7 or 6x9 Graflex carrier. Just be patient, go to camera flea markets, and check eBay from time to time. Cheers, Dan | ||

I have seen both 2x series and RH-XX series backs ******* on eBay, and I'd like to know which one is the better bet to start bidding on. I figure that if I get a 6x9 or 7 then I can always crop down to square if I have to, so I'll start looking at the backs in this order: 6x9, 6x7, 6x6. Any suggestions? | ||
