    Viability of 1/2 plate international back on Thornton Pickard Imperial camera

    Hi ! I've just joined after popping on to the site a number of times recently. I'm quite new to photography and so I'm still learning.
    I've recently got into large format and I have built my own camera (I'll add photos etc in the appropriate thread later).
    My question relates to a Thornton Pickard Imperial Triple-Extension 1/2 plate view camera which I purchased recently. The camera has had the front standard supports replaced and other mods, so I decided to tidy it up and get it working as a functional device.
    I've added a 1/2 plate international back to hopefully use with 5x7 film holders? Can anyone advise me of the viability of this - I understand that the dimensions are compatible with 5x7 holders. IClick image for larger version.

    I've attached a photo of the camera and sprung back (hopefully) for your comments

    Thanks

    Problem solved: the sprung back is correct!
