I'm a new owner of a Sinar F, which I'll be pressing into action once I get a lensboard adapter from SK Grimes.
I am also interested in using this as a basis for getting into a larger format, either 5x7 or 8x10. I am not sure, however, how the format change works. Do you need a completely new rear standard? Looking at this 5x7 format adaptor (http://cgi.ebay.ch/SINAR-FORMATADAPTER-5X7-13X18-KPL-/350369568293?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Elektronik_Computer_Foto_Camcorder_Foto_Camcorderzubehör_PM&hash=item5193a75625#ht_1791wt_1139) on ebay, I can't work out how I would fit this onto the F rear standard, as there seems to be no means of removing the 4x5 back from the standard support. There are four screws holding the back to the standard, but I can't believe that I'd unscrew these and put the new back on. Is this 5x7 adaptor for a different camera such as the Sinar P, and do I need to be looking for something else?
