Chamonix 5x7 Convertible and Canham 617 Roll Film Back

[Larry Gebhardt]

Thanks everyone. I have a couple of messages in to Hugo Z to see what can be done. acs, like your idea and it may be possible to adapt/reuse a Cham 5x7 back with the GG already in it. That way it should be possible to keep accurate alignment with the GG.

I'll see what transpires and will post the outcome for all those interested.

Regards

Dave

Dave, any word on this?

Last year I bought the horizontal model and Hugo Z said I could order an adapter for any 6x17 back available, but it would take a little long to be made. Also, I should send him whatever back I happend to buy and the predicted cost was about U$350.

It seems that there have been issues with many 5x7 cameras and the Canham holder. I remember that Mike Walker stressed highly that his 5x7 XL would accept the Canham holder..EC

Walker's camera seems the safest approach. and it wont warp!
