Hi Ozzz, if your intention is to fit a Rittreck back to a Sinar 5x7 it isn't going to work. The back plate in pic 3 is the back of the Rittreck camera alongside the Sinar back. I have a Sinar Norma...

You could use the frame from a parts Norma standard or a Norma auxiliary standard. They look similar to your photo. Or you could use a Sinar F or P frame. I can see this would work as a lensboard...

Great shot.

Where do you get 13x18 x-ray film in the UK?

That should work well. Linhof Technika style boards are compact and available at a fraction of the price of Arca boards. Sinar to Linhof Technika adapters are also common and easy to adapt to larger...

Nice photo. I love megaliths. This is Pentre Ifan neolithic portal dolmen. Respect to the ancestors.

Yes you can get half plate b&w film in europe.

I have one of these 5x7 backs. It's works ok but the wood isn't really finished, and the style doesn't match the camera. I miss having a bail arm too.

I've gone back to using the original...

I was having trouble with uploading some photos. I can't get them to appear in the correct orientation. Oh well, do you get the idea?

The Sinar back does fit but there are a couple of issues:

The back is held on by the Norma spring catches which lock behind the metal frame of the opening in the back of the Rittreck and into the...

This happened to me too. There seems to be a lot of this cell swapping around on Ebay.

I've collected a number of G-Claron lenses and it's been suggested to me that the elements could be interchanged and used as a casket set. So using the 210, 240 and 305s that fit into a copal 1 what...

I miss Frank.

When does his ban expire?

They use pacemaker graphic lensboards. I don't know about super graphic boards. The bumps at the top and bottom mate with the retaining sliders. Bumps on the side wouldn't get in the way of anything.

These Toyo Fields make great compact field cameras. I use mine with the original 4x5, and half plate backs and a custom 5x7 back. A Kodak 203mm f7.7 lives on mine and the camera will close with it...

I use a Nikon 90SW f4.5 but I bet I would be just as happy with any of the other F4.5 - 5.6 models. I would recommend these faster designs unless you really need to watch the weight. They are about...

Arash welcome to large format photography and to this forum.

Have a look at the general information on the home page of this website and specifically the list of lenses for 4x5:...

from me too but the Nikon 120 is also great, and I bet the SA 120 is too, although I've not personally used it. These wide angle designs are a...

Looks like the Graflock bars have slid closed and are catching the back mechanism. Try pushing them out of the way.

After seeing a non standard Rittreck 5x7 for sale on Ebay I experimented with my camera. I am pleased to report that a Sinar Norma 5x7 back fits the Rittreck with no mods required!

It does need...

The vintage Kodak Ektar 203mm f7.7 in Supermatic shutter is a very light and compact lens that covers 5x7 with room for modest movements. I find it ideal for leaving on my folded Rittreck 5x7 and...

90mm lenses are very wide on 5x7. If that's what you want, then fine go ahead, otherwise think about getting a 120mm. I have used the Nikkor 120SW and the older Schneider SA 121 with great rusults on...

If you really have to shoot colour 5x7 then the only readily available fresh film I know is E6 transparency from Germany in 13x18.
...

The OP has stated that there are no film holders with the middle camera. That will make using this camera difficult. There is no lens with the large camera, so why not try using the small half plate...

The normal lens for a format is roughly of focal length equal to the diagonal of the film or plate size.

Your 21cm tessar would make a good normal lens for the half plate ( 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 inch )...

Indeed they did.

They made non standard half plate holders that were much more compact and lighter than standard 5x7 size half plate holders. A perfect match for their light and compact camera.

Be grateful for what you have. :)

That's great. It's got a cross-processed look.

I've not seen many colour paper negs. I'll have to give it go. Is this reversed in the computer? Please could you explain your process.

You can use it with film too. Give it a go before you decide to sell. It may give you a look you like.

So release the shutter carefully with your finger.

Are you sure that you aren't trying to fit the cable release to the flash sync socket?

iPhoto will do it when you use "Export".

I've disassembled the Toyo Graphic Adapter.

I now see that the Graphic part isn't made of steel, it's a die cast alloy. It measures 122mm wide x 117mm high. The back sits flat on the Toyo board,...

The steel Graphic adapter is attached from the back by 10 small screws to the aluminium board. It can easily be removed but does have a raised light trap baffle that fits into the cut out on the Toyo...

I've thought of another adapter that might work, the Rittreck to Pacemaker Graphic adapter. However I don't like mine much because the Graphic boards don't fit so well. They always seem to become...

A Pacemaker Speed or Crown Graphic front standard can be bolted to a sinar board to make a great adapter. I've done it but I don't know if it would fit on a 5x7 Technika board.

I had the same problem when I moved a Sinar DBM mounted Sinaron (rebadged Grandagon) 90mm f4.5 into a regular Copal 1 shutter. Unscrewing the lens elements left an "adapter collar" inside the Sinar...

They are all decent lenses, but age and condition will be the main factor governing price. Some of these lenses have been made for 40 years!

We need photo's and descriptions to estimate value. The...

Sinar and Linhof are top marques. Your equipment should be very saleable.

I can find KODAK E 100G 13x18 available at Nordfoto (as posted by Ole), and Phototec.
