Beattie Coleman 6x9 back

[LF_rookie_to_be]

Does this back fit easily on a Cambo or Sinar 4x5? What is the exact image size? According to some sources, it's between 63x90 and 65x92 mm.

I had one I thank it was 65mm x 95mm

Banjo,

Thanks for the answer. What camera did you use it on?

Any information on the actual use of this back on a 4x5 camera is greatly appreciated...

Silence is informative.

Dan, does that mean this is basically a useless piece of equipment?

[banjo]

Until proven otherwise, yes, unless attached to the camera it was made for.

Do you have it in hand or are you contemplating buying it? If the price is low enough, you might buy it just to find out what it is and whether you can find a use for it. I have a couple of doorstops -- doorstop is spelled L-E-N-S -- that I bought out of curiosity.

Dan, I agree completely - it's not much until it's proven in action. Yeah, I am eyeing one at the moment, not too expensive. Apparently these backs works with a Graflok plate. Could it mean it can be attached to many cameras then? What I can borrow for use are a Sinar F and a Cambo, don't know the model name, both 4x5. And a box of 160NC 70mm film.
