Hmmmm... want to trade?

Tim,

I might be willing just to sell it to you for what I paid... (the pity being that it just came all the way cross country from Oakland)

I suppose it should have been obvious to me that if a holder to fit a spring back wouldn't work in a Graflex back, neither would a roll film holder. Issue of whether the film plane is even in the right place aside, the holder is too long (although I'm not sure if that matters) but also too short in height - I would need to see if I could rig something up to extend it so it will run under the slides (or if I can build some kind of clamp to come out and grab the edges where they are). I'm going to think about it for a day or two and then maybe just use it with sheet holders and efke film from freestyle.

I do have a 3x4 anniversary speed with spring back which I could adapt the roll holder to, but I like to use my graphics with GG focusing, and already have plenty of 2x3 models (anybody want to take one, or three, off my hands) so I don't know why I'd bother. Only reason I bought it is it's a post-war model and all my other anniversary speeds are wartime and I wanted the nice chromed body for display - it was dirt cheap, being minus a bunch of parts which I happened to have lying around spare.

OK, I see. You have a graphics back that doesn't fit the Graflex. It won't do me any good neither.
