    Hey, thanks Andrew! Not too expensive at the moment. But now I can see the flaw with this concept: it does not keep the plane of focus (film stands one or two mm backwards). This is probably not required for a pola made only to check the exposure. I think the Toho is better in this regard.

    I think you could just put a shim between the 5 x 7 ground glass carrier ,when focusing, of a size equal to the change in registration by using that polaroid adapter-they may have been supplied orginally with one.

    I missed the cheap one on Ebay because I was still sleepy at two in the morning and reacted too late... but bought a used Linhof adapter that a kind person had directed me to (like new, available and much cheaper than the Toho) from Badger. Jeff had told me that it should fit and yes, the Fuji QuickLoad fits perfectly in it, couldn't be better. There is 1mm of focus shift. I will make some sort of cut window insert to compensate for the focus shift while adjusting, as Andrew suggested. Thanks to All for your help!
