Not sure where to post this... I am trying to find a graphloc back for the 2x3 crown I have. Yes, i know the easiest way is to buy a Century that comes with that back. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

I don't think the easiest way would be to buy a Century. I could be wrong, but as far as I know, the backs are molded into the camera on those...
Just keep your eye open on ebay. probably the only way to find one?

Yes, Rich you are right, of course, I was just hoping somebody would say, Oh, here's the address of the Graflok store. I understand the Century is a molded piece, but i have been told this is the shortest route to having a 23 Graflex with Graflok back. Thanks |

| Well, if you want to shoot roll film on a 2x3 Crown with a spring back, why don't you buy a 2x3 Adapt-A-Roll 620? Search this site for more info, they're not exactly unknown and have been discussed. They show up on eBay from time to time. Whatever you do, don't tell me they're no damn good. I use 'em, and they're better than that. |

Thanks, I have a roll-film back on the 2x3 Crown now. I am actually looking to get a Graflok back so as to have a Ground Glass focusing screen (when using other lenses) and to use othetr backs, like RB67 backs. |

Sounds like you really need a Century after all! It has the Graflok back *and* the groundglass in frame with folding focusing hood.
