Will this roll film adapter work? Toyo 6x9 -> Toyo GII

[Corran]

Well this is my first post here. Don't be too harsh :)

I'm bewildered at all the options for roll film holders and I wanted to make sure before I bought one. I have a Toyo GII 4x5 coming that I just bought, a step-up from my MF camera (Pentax 67). I want to still be able to shoot some roll film if needed considering film/dev cost on 4x5.

Anyway, I found this at KEH:

I wanted to know if it would work on my camera, and also if anyone would recommend it.

I appreciate the info and look forward to posting some here!

Welcome!
The Toyo rollfilm holders come highly recommended, but it looks like it is made for 2x3 cameras, not 4x5 cameras.

Ah, that's why it says 67...thanks!

I hate KEH's vague descriptions sometimes!

Well back to the drawing board. I can't seem to figure out if the Toyo is a Graflex back or whatever and would therefore take generic roll film holders. There are just so many varieties of these things...

Example:

Actually, I believe the 67 refers to 6cmx7cm format, which it will shoot.
What I'm not sure about is the 2x3; I think that refers to the camera on which it's to be used.
It's a bit unclear, so I can't tell you for sure; a call to KEH will settle the problem.
In any case, the back from eBay will work on your 4x5; it will necessitate your removing the ground glass assembly, replacing that with the 6x9 rollfilm back, and using the camera's clips to secure the back.

Great, thanks for the help!
