Lomography sells the back. There is some modifying needed. I can't give a step-by-step, but if you're handy and have some epoxy, tape, etc. you can do it. Good luck.

[QUOTE=Drew Bedo;1297162]I am guessing that the 100mm Ektar will focus at infinity if the helical mount is extended; that should be 10mm or most of the way out. Ny guess (again just a supposition)...
I'm using the 'default' 6.8 90mm Angulon. I' like to use a 100mm 6.3 Wide Field Ektar, but the flange to film distance is too long.
While I appreciate all the thoughtful solutions to the ground glass issue, the camera is not meant for critical tripod focus/composition. Once focus calibration has been achieved, the user is free to...
For a simple ground glass solution, get a 4.75 x 5.75 inch ground glass and attach strips of 3/16" foamcore to the edges. This is close to the nominal .190 inch or 5mm distance from film holder to...
