In Reply to: Seeking 6X9 reducing back-roll film holder advice posted by Mark Rayborn on November 28, 2000 at 14:54:05:
From what I know the RB67 backs only come in 6x7, newer motorized backs for the later RB RZ series come in 6x8 but none that I know of come in 6x9.
The reducing back is an odd little puppy and will obviously, take 6x9 sheet film which is still available. I have sold GV 4x5 backs for as much as $100, so you may be better off to sell whats left in parts, ie "replacement bellows RARE!" ;-), "Tripod mount for GVII RARE!" you get the idea.
The other option is a Calumet C2 roll holder. The new ones (C2N)
come in 6x7 6x9 and 6x12, use 120 or 220 and can be used like a
film holder without the need to remove the ground glass back. The
older (C2, more metal and 6x7 only) sell in the range of $100-150
on ebay, which is cheaper than a mamyia back
