Hi all,
Before I purchase one, I am trying to learn a little bit more about the 4x5 "Split Shot" (read mugshot) adapter produced by Graflex back in the day...
If you're not familiar with this unit, there's an overpriced one on eBay (http://bit.ly/Hgp4N0) right now with some informative pictures, but there are a still a few things I haven't been able to glean from multiple web searches.
There is supposed to be more information about this accessory on graflex.org, but I am unable to locate it because I don't even know what this thing is properly called.
At first, I believed this unit to slide under a graflok back and function as a film holder as well, but upon revisiting the photos, it appears to be a proper back itself... Also, I suppose the years of production on these pretty well prevents it from being made to work with a graflok back.
Can anyone who owns or has used one of these give me a little more information about how to use it? And if this thing is a back and not just a "film holder", am I going to have to remove my graflok every time I want to use it? I am particularly interested to know how to insert a film holder into one of these things (i.e., like a graflok, graphic, or graflex back?)
Any information is greatly appreciated,
William
