Does anyone know if Zone VI made 8x10 to 5x7 reducing backs? Calumet does not have them or information on them. Has anyone modified a different brand (Deardorff?) that is commonly available to use on a Zone VI?

David, contact Richard Ritter. Chances are he built the camera in the first place. He's making a 7X17 back for my Folmer & Schwing and will be able to help with your question. http://www.lg4mat.net/

David,

I'm pretty sure they haven't made a 5x7" reducing back. I have a 4x5" back for my 8x10". It's not that complicated so I would guess any size could be made. If you do find a source let me know.

Martin-

FYI-

Stephen Shuart replied:

If it is a wooden camera, we could make a back...about $300

Still researching the advantages/disadvantages to buying a 5x7 back instead of an entire camera.
