Digital 6x9 View Camera solutions?
« on: June 21, 2015, 01:57:35 pm »

I have some 6x9 gear I would like to buy a digital back for. None of the players really have anything. Does anyone know of someone making adapters in their garage or basements? Please let me know.

Can you be more specific? Arca Swiss makes a digital-back adapter for their 6x9 cameras. It's the same adapter their R system uses.

Yes sorry. It is a Graflex. Takes a roll back. In very good shape. Works well.
I would like to press it into duty if I can find a solution. I will check the Arca site. Thanks for the reply.

Linhof makes an adapter also. Ok so the wording of my search criteria needs so brushing up. 😬

Got it. The Arca adapters only fit the Arca cameras -- they way they lock in is unique to Arca Swiss. But I'd check Kapture Group, eBay, etc. Not sure if a digi back adapter exists for the Graflex. Good luck.

I'm not a Graflex expert, or indeed novice, but I read : Fit a back adapted for 4x5 (assuming your graflex has the graflok back system, not the standard ground glass spring back) then an appropriate 4x5 digital back adapter.
The Super Graphic-Super Speed Graphic has a Graflok/International back therefore any digital back made for 4x5 Graflok/International back will work.

If you look around ebay there are plenty that appear to be compatible with the graflock back like this one:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasselblad-V-Mount-Digital-Back-Adapter-Phase-One-Leaf-Aptus-4x5-Large-Format-/181601760461

Good luck with your quest!
