45AX and Grafmatic, with pictures (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showpost.php?p=827209&postcount=3)

I have neither a 45AII nor a 405 holder, but hopefully this will be close enough to help you. Look at the spring back, first image. The back has a release mechanism, and you remove it by pressing down on those arms in the slots to disengage the back from the body. You can see them in the photo, near the top of the back.

The next image shows the Graflok sliding clips holding the Grafmatic. The same clips will fit into a groove in the holder, and you'll be set.

Just side the baxk in under the g/g frame. It'll work fine, might be a bit tight, but it'll work

I have a PDF of a scanned 45A owner's manual at the link below if anyone can make use of it. It is large (~60mb), so I don't think a dial-up connection is going to work, it will be available for the next week or so, the domain where it is hosted expires next week and I won't be renewing it.

Cheers for this, impossible to find on the internet (only the CF - that I could find).

I optimized the 45A manual for size and it's now only 8mb.

I havent tried, most people say that doesnt fit. Would it cause a problem later on? It really fits?

thanks.

don't slide it under the focusing panel. Remove the focusing panel first by simply pressing down on the springs and sliding it to the side. Then lift the whole focusing panel off the camera and attach the graflock compatible accessory as shown in the linked photos in Post#3.
