Fuji 6X9 digital options
« on: May 12, 2007, 04:02:29 pm »

Does anyone know of digital back options that would work on a Fuji 6X9 wide(65mm I think)?
Thanks,
Bill

I asked a similar question with regard to a GW670 a while back.
At present the answer is unfortunately, no.
And as Fuji have discontinued these brilliant cameras, I doubt there's any hope for a solution in the future tbh.

There's a new article on Michael's site on digital large format photography, written by Richard Sexton (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/digital-ebony.shtml)  In there he suggests a company called SK Grimes:

"SK Grimes Photo Machinist: www.skgrimes.com

A repair and fabrication shop that custom manufactures an adapter plate that allows a Canon EOS camera body to attach to any view camera with an international back, i. e. any Ebony 4x5 camera model.  They also make special adapters for fitting barrel lenses, i. e. enlarging lenses, to Copal shutters."

If you contact them they might be able to make an adapter for your camera that would allow a MF digital back.  You'd likely have to send them the camera AND back for them to make something though, and I don't know enough about the camera to know if this would work...

Or you buy a Alpa and digital back off the shelf, most likely works out cheaper (but very pricey) and you know it works. Or something like my (not for sale)  Corfield 67 with 47mm Schneider lens, cheap if you can find one and a digi back, Mamiya fitting.
