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

George

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 :(
