    Question: Can this be done?

    I have this 5x7 back that I want to find out if it can be mounted on a Graflex SLR 3.25 x 4.25 Series D camera.

    First: Is it possible?
    Second: What would I need to do?
    Third: Any other advice?

    Thanks and Merry Christmas

    John

    John, you'll need to mount the 5x7 back on a tapered extension.

    I don't think you should bother. If you want a 5x7 Graflex ante up and buy one.

    I make this suggestion because of a disastrous project that tried to use a 2x3 RB Ser. B. as an SLR module for a long lens camera called Baby Bertha. Baby failed because the RB's mirror box vignetted the image projected by lenses much longer than normal for 2x3. I think you'll encounter the same problem.

    I am with Ben on this. Maybe it could be done4, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
