Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2018 7:01 pm Post subject: Graflok Compatibility |
|
|
I have a spring back Miniature Pacemaker Speed Graphic. So far, I love it. However, I am currently using an Adapt-A-Roll....which I am NOT loving. I'd like to convert to a Graflok. However, I am having a really difficult time finding a back. However, I was wondering...are all 2x3 (6x9...?) Graflok backs the same? Meaning, could one meant for an XL be modified to work in a Mini Graphic? I don't want to permanently mount a roll back as I would like to use the various b&w sheet film sometime. But, I've had a hard time with the AAR620---sometimes the "clicker" doesn't work, or I jam while loading, etc.

There was a Graflok made to retrofit Anniversary Speeds and likely the Miniature Speeds also. A Graflok for a Pacemaker has its mount holes at a different position than the Anny/Miniature. They are about 1/2 - 3/4 the mount screw diameter off set therefore the mount holes will have to be elongated to work.
I have not worked with an XL so I don't know if the XL Graflok will fit or not.
It likely will not fit as the bodies are different shape even though the format is the same. _________________ The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU. |

That is good to know...I didn't realize a Mini/Anni (which I have also with a spring back) had a different back than a Pacemaker. I guess that narrows it down even more Maybe I will just end up getting super efficient with my AAR620, haha. _________________ "Everyone has a photographic memory.
