    Question about Cambo 4x5 back interchangeability...

    Hi all, I just purchased a Phase One Flex Adapter for Cambo 4x5 and am looking to see what Cambo models I can mount it on. The previous owner said that it was attached to an Ultima 4x5 before. Is that the same fit as for the SF, SC, Legend, and possibly other models?

    Um, er, ah, y'r new adapter is probably a modified Cambo lens board. I could be mistaken, but I think that all 4x5 Cambos take the same boards. At any rate, https://www.cambo.com/en/view-cam/tr...es/lensboards/ shows only 163 mm sq boards for 4x5ers, all with the same notches.

    Is this the adapter you have? If so, it appears compatible with all of the Calumet/Cambo 4x5 cameras.

    Thanks for the reply. You had me thinking that I should have measured before I bought the sliding back and also before I posted my question. I was surprised to find that it measured 123mm x 123mm and fit my SC 23 perfectly!

    The one I bought ends up was fit for 23, which works out best for me because I have a SC 23 already. Thank you!
