The FKD will be 13x18cm rather than 5x7. With taht array of cameras one would guess your probably in the UK. I have 4 Ruby Reflex cameras, nice cameras and modular shutters unlike the Graflex.Quote:

I am having an 11x14 tailboard camera made for me by my uncle, I think I'll just have to use it on that camera with some plate masks suited for 8x10.

Its originally a 13x18 but its been converted to use a 5x7 Graflock back rather than the original bookform (both 13x18 and 5x7 have the same size graflock film holders thankfully). Yep, I'm a UK shooter, although my baby Graphic came from the US (it was a steal at about £100 and is in perfect condition) and is one of my regular shooters (about 50 rolls of 120 so far in 2 years of owning it). The Ruby Reflex is amazing! I originally wanted a modern Hasselblad type camera (I was looking at a Mamiya rb67), but I saw the Ruby and just had to get it. The focal plane shutter is amazing and it has a great range of speeds (T 1/10 --- 1/1000). I've created a couple of new lens boards for it and I've been able to use my LF lenses on it (locking the mirror up on T mode or lock the lens open). I've found a 280, 180, 135 and 110 are all usable on it with the bellows.Quote:

My (new to me) Shen Hao 5x4. I got fed up carting an all metal Wista about (bad back!) so this is lighter and IMHO more attractive.
Or, same Shen Hao but with bag bellows...
