Hello,
I've got a nice 13x18cm Sinar Norma, which is very nice and I enjoy every (rare) moment I can shoot with it. But watching some 18x24cm (or 8x10in) kits flowing through ebay at ridiculous prices set me thinking - why not? Film holders I already have as well as film (for pinhole purpose), some of my lenses will work with this format, so why not?
The question is - the offers consist mostly of a frame with focusing back and bellows. Something like this:
70218

But what about the rear standard holder or clasp or how is the thing that attaches the back to the rail called? Do I just unscrew some part of my 13x18 back and screw it on, just raising the front standard to make it level? Or do I need another standard bearer? If so - is it possible to use a P2 thing on the Norma rail?
Thank you for all your help..
