Grafmatics have been selling for about $50 over the past few days. I'm tempted but like the flexibility of cut film holders, and never seem to need the speed afforded by a grafmatic.

I see a spring back with glass that should fit my back...$45.
Cut film holders are pretty cheap.
I'm going to pull the trigger on that spring back. I kind of like the idea of being able to compose on glass now and again. Heck, I gave that camera interchangeable pinholes. Might as well interchange them.
Spring back might be more versatile.
Hope so. I also just bought 7 film holders for 38 shipped.
Now, if I can just get that 4990 scanner I'm trying to steal, I'll be all set.
Fun project ... please post some pictures when you've got them.
I will post some. I love my pinhole and I've been thinking of going 4x5 for so long now....
I take pinhole shots with 35mm and 120, but not 4x5 yet. It's too sharp!
Well, that didn't work out worth a hoot.
The spring back/ground glass thing won't fit my grafmatic back. Now I have a useless ground glass and 7 film holders on the way that I don't need.
Back to ebay to look for a grafmatic film holder.
Oh, that is a shame. I think you meant "graflok back' rather than 'grafmatic back', though. Can you post a pic of the back of your camera - the only pic of the back you currently show has the roll film holder attached. Also post a pic (or the auction number) of the GG spring back you bought. It's getting hard to guess from written descriptions.
That's funny...I found the thread here where I originally showed the camera and asked what it was.
So Brian, you've seen it before: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...ad.php?t=31524
Here is the ebay listing for the back I bought...which, I guess, I'll re-list on ebay.
