The Koronas are one of my favorite cameras and the company made 4x5 
backs for the 5x7 cameras. It would not be too hard to make up an 
international 4x5 back for the camera. Finding an original 4x5 back 
for the camera may be a little more difficult.

On the very long task list is to put together a page for the f32.net 
web site describing the range of Korona cameras together with pics. 
The most esoteric accessory I have is a 70mm roll film back. Unless 
an inexpensive roll of expired film pops up for it I guess it'll be a 
while before it gets used.

Cheers,
