G. Gennert camera's come mostly with a spring back. Further I see that the holders of Gennert had very specific recesses matching the back of the camera - albeit they seem very hard to find:

Questions:
1. Do these Gennert camera backs accept more modern international plateholders?
2. Are any fellow members using Gennert cameras?

thanks
Ron

I have an 11x14 Gennert Burllington that takes "regular" film holders. I only have three holders, but they are from three different manufacturers and they all seem work. I don't know about the smaller size cameras.

Thanks Ron, I guess this might also be the case for the smaller sized camera's but would be great if a fellow member could confirm this from own experience.
