I don't have an RB, I've only used one for a couple of hours, but I do have an RB67 back that seems to fit a graflex graflok back I have (for one of the small press cameras).
Before I load it up and try to use it, do you think this would work? From what I remember of the RB, it had a nice interlock system that would prevent you from advancing film until you trigger the shutter on the RB. Obviously I would not have this mechanism in this situation, so can I still advance film? Is there a release or something? I know there's a little silver lever on the back but it was so long ago that I used the RB that I can't remember what this does.
Also, it's a 220 back. Any hope of my running 120 film through it?
Amusingly enough I got this graflex back with my 8x10 camera. I doubt I'll be too motivated to set up medium format shots on my monster wood 8x10, but if it will work I'll remove the back and figure a way to attach it to my 4x5.
