Re: ATM [~OT] Roll film holder plans?

Matt,

Although the Rolli has a removable back and would look nice,
the Graflex has a 2.25 X 3.25 roll film holder that incorporates
a dark slide too. In addition if you can get hold of an old one
on e-bay you can take off the whole back plate which will accept
another accessory....a ground glass viewer. It isn't perfect
but you'd be off and running for less than $100.00
