I'm pretty well equipped in the RB67 system, and of course there's a lot of crossover there since it also uses a Graflok back. It mostly just looks good on the shelf sitting on top of the box :) My local shop has them come and go some and they are cheap-I've been tempted to pick up one with a Graflok back, but there again just have had other things I'd rather buy. In any case, mine has a plain spring back. It's mostly sat idle, though-I bought a box of Efke 50 when I first got it(it was in date, which gives some idea of how long I've had the camera) and haven't shot it up. It let me get my feet wet in sheet film before I finally jumped all the way in a little over a year ago with a 4x5 Pacemaker Speed and then the B&J View in my avatar. I've enjoyed it, and it fortunately came with a half dozen film holders. The camera I showed above was an impulse buy and was my first sheet film camera of any sort. If, like mine, it has a Graflok back it will accept clip-on roll holders with nominal 2 1/4 x 2 1/4, 2 1/4 x 2 3/4, and 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 gates. AFAIK, there are two such for 2x3 cameras, the Adapt-A-Roll 620 and a Busch holder whose name I've forgotten. Your 2x3 Crown Graphic is, like mine, a camera whose back accepts 2x3 sheet film holders and insertion type 2x3 roll holders. Nominal 6.5x9 sheets are larger than nominal 2x3 sheets. The formats are identical.Ħ.5x9 is a European sheet film format. 6x9 is a poor metric approximation to 2x3. As I've said, 2x3 roll holders' gates' sizes vary a little. 120, 220 and 620 roll films are 60 mm high. The film has to be a little larger.Ģx3 is also a roll film format. large format camera film holder specifications You'll see that the exposure area (film holder's gate) is lower than 2.25" and longer than 3 1/4". It isn't exactly that, here's a link to the ANSI standards for sheet film holders. Ilford FP4+ 125 ISO 2.25x3.25/25 sheets | Freestyle Photographic Suppliesīen, to repeat myself with a little amplification, 2x3 is an abbreviation for the more cumbersome 2 1/4 x 3 1/4.Ģx3 sheet film's nominal size is 2 1/4" x 3 1/4". If that's the case, Dan, what exactly is my "Crown Graphic '23'"Īnd also the 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" sheets that I buy to put in the film holders that came with my camera?
