    Deardorff 5x7 back

    I'm looking for a replacement back that will fit on a Deardorff 5x7 for a project.
    Is there any back from others companies that will fit it, Eastman, Wisner...?
    The Deardorff's back measure 8 3/4" x 83/4".

    Regards.

    How about just buying another DD back? Yes, they are hard to find for a 4x5/5x7 BUT just buy a 8x10 to 5x7 reduction back instead. The reduction back is simply a 5x7 back that will fit a V 5 mounted on a larger wooden frame to fit an 8x10. Buy
    the reduction back, separate the two pieces by removing the mounting screws, attach the back to your 4x5/5x7, mark where the pins need to go, remove the pins from the larger 8x10 frame, install them on the 5x7 back,and ta-da, a 5x7 DD back.
