    Bail for Deardorff V8 back?

    Do you think a bail can be added to a Deardorff V8 back?
    If yes, then by whom?

    Thank you,
    j

    Your best bet would be Richard Ritter, if anyone can do it he can.

    A arm that, when initiated, lifts/leavers the ground glass section of the camera back to make inserting the film holder a whole lot easier, as well as reducing the likelihood of knocking the settings of the camera.

    I have a Sinar back adapted by myself for use on my Deardorff. It was a temporary solution until I was able to find an original back, which I now have. I really like the bail and solid feel but the weight was the penalty.

    Thank you again, Richard.

    I have not responded further because a photographer down the road has expressed an interest in buying the Deardorff 'as is', entirely original.

    Bails are mostly alike, such as this one: http://glennview.com/jpgs/sinar/p/81...tage/big_2.jpg
