[LargeFormat] graflex roll film back

[philip Lambert]

The Graflex back replaces the ground glass back which should unclip leaving
a space into which the rollfilm back fits exactly, to be held by the
retaining slides. There were smaller ones fitting the Graphic 23 and these
are like a Mamiyaflex RB67 rollfilm back.  The two lenses mentioned sound
worth having if the shutters work and the glass is good. Can you try them
out before buying?  Philip
