Ok, as you can guess, I'm still trying to choose between two cameras and since I have/had a Shen-Hao 45, I also have a rollfilm-back for it. Will this fit the Canham Wood Back for 4x5, or is it a completely different system ? Same question for my Graflex holders.

And one more (if you bear with me): is there an adapter to fit Technica boards to a Canham Wood camera ? I know they can be delivered like that, but since I'm in Europe and buying secondhand, I don't think I'll count on sending it back to the USA for that ..

Thanks,
Stefan.

The wooden 4x5 back is a reducing back for the 5x7 Canham Traditional camera.

It does not have the Grafloc sliders that are needed to hold a roll film back.

However, a Calumet C2 roll film back can be used with the Canham 4x5 wooden back. It slides in like a regular film holder

Canham makes an adapter frame that enables the use of Linhof Tech lens boards in the 4x5/5x7 Traditional.
