5x7 back for Zone VI 8x10?

[Joe Forks]

Does it exist? Or is this something Richard Ritter would have to make? I've been searching but can't find it.

BTW I'm cash poor at the moment, so it is for future reference.

Do you mean the earlier Picker camera, or the later Ultralight offered by Calumet?

As for the earlier one, my 1993 Zone VI catalog shows only a 4x5 reducing back.

Early Zone VI - real early, # 0290 or something very close to that off the top of my head w/o checking.

Both the ultra light and the Picker camera are the same only different metal was used. So far are only 3, 5 x7 backs have been made. Fred did not like 5 x 7 format.

Thanks for the info Richard.

Joe,

Richard Ritter made me a 5x7 back for my Zone VI 8x10. It is the usual fine workmanship that we have all come to expect from Richard.
