Is there a roll film back for the 4x5 Tachihara?

Calumet makes roll film holders that work, I used them with my Tachihara and they were great.

Calumet C2 (C2N?) holders should work, and there is a rumor some others, e.g. Horseman roll back, MAY work also (dunno for sure). Calumet now sells C2-type holders under the Cambo brand. Go to www.calumetphoto.com/ and do a search with "c2 film holder." It's almost as expensive as the camera, though.
There are some Calumet holders on eBay now. From what I've seen, they go for below-$100 to $200+.
Rapid Rollex 45 fits any 45 camera and the Rapid Rollex 23 fits any 6x9 camera. Both are 120 6x7cm from Linhof.
I've just picked up an old Adapt-a-roll 620 to use with my Tachihara. It was designed for 620 film but 120 film feeds fine, you do need 620 spools on the take-up side. It is 6x9 format. They've been going for as little of $30 to about $70 on ebay. They're not the easiest to load and use but they do work. There is an article on graphlex.org about them.
