    Was there ever a 6x6 RFH with a mini-Graflok fitting?

    Apologies for this being about MF not LF, but I'm confident that someone here will know the answer! I am wanting to know if there has ever been a 120 roll-film holder (RFH) made that has a mini-Graflok fitting, but which uses 6x6 frame size.

    I have Fotoman 69 and Ebony SW23 cameras which take this sort of back, for which Horseman (and other) 6x9 and 6x7 holders are readily available, if now only second-hand. If there is a 6x6 RFH that uses the same fitting I would be happy to know what to look for. I am aware that Hasselblad, Mamiya etc made 6x6 backs for their SLR cameras, but as far as I am aware they will not clip onto the mini-Graflok fitting. Is that correct?

    Many thanks for your help

    They're on ebay, and not that expensive

    ebay item #:
    311239192173
    for example

    I'm not sure this answers your needs or is at all what your looking for but how about the Graflex XL rangefinder. I'm sure it has a Graflok back option & has RH 12 Graflex 6x6 roll holders.

    Here's a link to that catalog.http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/graflex_2.html

    To my knowledge the Mamiya RB67 system used mini-graflock style attachment locks, so check those out as they also made 6x6 backs for the system.

    After rereading your 1st post I think your just looking for a 6x6 roll holder only that fits the Standard (original) 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 Graflok back. So the RH/12 in the Graflex XL catalog may be your answer.

    Beware, the RH/12 with the lever wind had a extra set of rollers that supposedly ensure better film flatness.
    I own the model with the lever wind but haven't used it yet.

    Supposedly they did make a 6X6 back for the RB67 but I have never seen one or even a photo of one.

    Hmm, I own the RZ67 and do have a 6x6 back, they made a 70mm RB back I used to own, and I know they had a 6x8 back and a 645 back, I can't imagine they didn't have a 6x6 back, the one I own is a 120/220 6x6 back. But a quick google search I don't see one
