Kodak Pro Back compatibility

[Kumar]

AFAIK, only the ProBack Plus works with a view camera, with an adapter plate from KaptureGroup. Is any other adapter available?
Can the other ProBack models 645C/M/H also do that? Any reason why they don't work in the same way as the other manufacturers' backs?

Cheers,

I owned a 645 m some years ago

I seem to remember - but I may not be correct - that is DOES NOT work with a view camera

Thea reason being that say when using my sinar the back is fired by an external cable plugged into the bottom of the back

The 645M did not have such a connection and therefroe would need to be fired by a connection mirroring the camera connection ir on the front of the back

If my memory serves my right the Proback was suitable for use with view cameras - it must have had a facility for cable release

Maybe a more complex sliding back is available that offeres the correct electronics to fire the 645m - I dont think so

In defence of the 645m I did create some stitched files (rotating the camera around the lens node) that would compete with nearly any MFDB files that could be created with todays generations of digiback

Thanks, Sam. So my friend will need to get the Proback Plus. Do you know if anyone makes a simple Graflok adapter, rather than the expensive sliding option from KaptureGroup?

Note this bit of my last post

 "but I may not be correct "

I would imagine most of the view camera makers make Vmount adapters for thier systems

Kodak has a compatibility chart for the ProBack Plus that lists only the KaptureGroup solution. It might work with a simple V mount adapter from another source. If anyone could confirm this?
