Using a rollfilm back on my Crown Graphic
I have a 6x7 roll film back for my 4x5 Crown Graphic and would like to
know what viewfinder mask I should use. Sorry if this is a very obvious point, but I assume I will need a mask to match the coverage of the roll film back. |

Using a rollfilm back on my Crown Graphic

I have a 6x7 roll film back for my 4x5 Crown Graphic and would like to know what viewfinder mask I should use. My Speed came with a 6x7 homemade mask: some previous owner had applied thin red transparent tape across the front VF lens. The type of tape used for preparing artwork for printed circuit boards. I haven't seen any for some 20 years -- it may still be an art-supply item. This particular tape is good as not only is it transparent but it is also repositionable for pretty much forever. I imagine the tape was attached so it lined up with the location of the holder as seen through the GG. My Speed has a little slot in the top of the finder for masks. It would be possible to slide out the 4x5 one and with a ruler scale a 6x7cm mask from the size of the 4x5" mask. Cut it out of a 3x5 index card, color as appropriate and slip it in. You could also take a picture of a white 6x7 rectangle against a black/red/grey background at a distance that it makes the right size image on a Kodachrome slide, cut out of the mount, slip in. India ink and a ruling pen on clear drafting Mylar. .... -- Nicholas O.

That depends on what lens you have. There is a article on www.graflex.org that
tells which mask works with which lens and format size. OK, I just checked its http://graflex.org/speed-graphic/viewfinder-masks.html Unfortunately it does not show the ones for 6x7 which did not come out until the 60's. IIRC, they would be 18, 19, 20, but don't hold me to that. There is also a clear plastic gaget that fits into the sports finder that shows the 6x7 frames, it was made for the Super Graphic so has both horizontal and vertical frames.

Tom is right - first you choose the lens to be used.
6x7 - I'm pretty sure there were never any masks made specifically for 6x7. All I've ever seen were for 6x9. None of the charts in Graphic Graflex Photography, 11th Ed. show that format.
