An insert, than holds the film, and a wrap around back that will be design to fit a particular camera size. If you've got something with a knob or a lever and a dial that counts to 12 and a part that says "Graphic 22" on the outside that fits your camera size. Then you should be all set. Les |

Before I bought one, I made my own out of old hack saw blades a very tedious process, but effective. What I am not sure of if the 2x3 and 4x5 take the same kit. Biggest problems with the spring kit is the time it takes to convert back to GG. Be sure your infinity setting is correct, and your rangefindr is tracking before you go to rollfilm. Russ |
