Do you mean the back with a yellow handle? Looks like a standard roll film back. The handle color is a code, which I forget for which format.

If you are planing on bidding, you may have made a mistake. Those look like "star wars" flash handles and they go for a fortune. (probably worth more than the camera) If you only want the camera, you might alert the seller and have them seperate the flash handles and sell them seperately.

Now that we all know they are there, the camera will probably go high.

Looks like he has shown 2 different cameras. The 2x3 camera picture is not part of this auction. The back on the 4x5 is a Graflex. Someone will probably buy this outfit to get the flash and resell the camera. Russ

and considering that the rear red button is missing (the frame is there but the button is not) this is probably a good one to let go. It's odd that the mask in the viewfinder is square and yet the roll back doesn't fit the camera

The camera has a Graflex back. As I read the ad, the roll back is an RH20 and isn't included in the auction.

Cheers,

I agree with Dan. It looks to me like the roll back isn't even for a 4x5.
