Cambo Rotating back vs non rotating back, backfocus question

[DirkFletcher]

I’m pretty sure I already know the answer but I’m wondering if someone with both backs on a Cambo can confirm something for me.

I’m building a Sinar ‘Handy’ style point and shoot wide camera only with Cambo components. I’m currently using a rotating back but I’m curious about switching to a non rotating Graflok back to shave off some weight.

I’m thinking the back focus distance will be shorter on the Graflok back but am hoping someone can confirm for me before I buy and new back and find all my focusing is off.

Thanks in advance!

It sure is with Toyo, Horseman and others with rotating back. Toyo adds about 3/8".
