I know that a Tachihara 45GF does not come equipped with a Graflock back. Instead, it is equipped with a spring back.
Is it possible to use this camera with the Horseman or Wista 6x9 roll film backs? I am aware that Cambo manufactures 6x7, 6x9, and 6x12 roll film backs that fit this spring back (any back, actually) but it appears that there are some serious issues with film flatness even with the new C2N backs.
I'm also aware that there are several other View Cameras (Shen Hao, Horseman, Wista) that do have International (Graflock) backs. But the Tachihara has a slightly longer bellows extension, costs about $500 less than a comporable Wista, and is considerably lighter than the Shen Hao (maybe as much as 2 lbs). So, I'd really like to investigate the Tachi's compatibility with a 6x9 roll film back intended for Graflock backs.
Many thanks.
