I have come into possession of a Super Graphic in moderate but functional condition accept it is missing the focusing back and hood. It has the revolving back and the bellows, lens and movements are all solid. As I understand it these parts rarely if ever are available. I have heard that a Calumet/Cambo cadet back will mount allowing the camera to be focused with the ground glass. Focusing and full/complete backs from other 4x5 cameras are much more available and at reasonable prices. Does anyone know or have first hand knowledge of backs which are compatible?
Thanks!

Funny how these posts follow you around.

Yes one of the Cambo focus frames fits I used one for a year, it's used on the Cadet and one or two other models. But not all Cambo focus frames fit so you need to be careful to get the right one.
