Sheet Film Back for Cambo 23SF

[Anthony Oresteen]

I recently purchased a Cambo 23SF 6x9 view camera. It came with a Horseman 6x9 roll film back. I picked up some used 2.25 x 3.25 sheet film holders (SFH) and to my surprise, the Cambo back won't accept them. It seems that the back is designed to be used only with a roll back. The SFH have nothing to hold on to once the ground glass is removed.

I went to Cambo's site but I couldn't tell if there is a SFH back.

Does anyone know if Cambo made a SFH back for the 23SF?

Thanks for your help!

Not familiar with the Cambo, but the general principle is that you do not remove the ground glass holder for sheet film holders: the film holder slips under the GG and is held in place by the spring loading of the GG holder.

For sheet film I suggest a Grafmatic if nothing else is available. They attach the same way as a sheet film holder and are very compact.
