Best place to get an 8x20 plate holder and film holders modified/made

[Tin Can]

Thank you for reminding me of Mr. Ritter. Definitely will email him soon.

Do not delay. RR is one man and this is now the busy season. He did a very good job for me with a Deardorff RR 11X14 Bail Back conversion and 5 11x14 new RR holders, over a year ago. Good price also. April is here already...

I don't believe you will find an expensive one-stop-shop for this, but it would actually be very easy to add a groove in your back to accept the rib-lock of the holder. Anyone with a table mounted router could do it in ten minutes, or you could probably do it yourself with a dremel and the right cutting tool.

Getting new holders will prove expensive wherever you get them, and as you have already learned, holders and backs don't always match so you might need some custom work here. If your holder is standard Korona or F&S you might be able to find used film or plate holders.

Yeah I've been looking for some used holders, with no luck. Well actually, I did find a used holder on eBay advertised as "9x20," which I assume was just a mis-measured holder, but I just missed out on it (for $90 ).

The back I have was cut down from a 12x20 back, from what I understand.

One of the other projects for this camera is getting a 305mm f/9 G-Claron, an older Dagor model, mounted to a Compur #2 shutter I have ready (it needs a small amount of modification). Already have a Nikkor-M 450mm f/9 for it though.

Richard can probably do the lens mounting, too.

Richard modified an 8x20 Deardorff back so that current 8x20 holders would fit. He moved the position of the rib-lock. I am sure he could adjust the back of your camera for any holder.

I make wet plate holders and I made an 8x20 custom holder a few months ago. It just so happens that I made two.

If you are trying to sell that, please post it in the FOR SALE threads.

Thank you!

Good Bryan, I was hoping you saw this in time, I had forgotten who wanted what.

I hope one day to buy a Jody Ake holder. His reputation is excellent.
