New Toy: Miniature Speed Graphic

<p>Well, that didn't quite work. The edges of the brackets that normally are screwed to the gg slip past the edges of the film holder, and I couldn't close the back properly.<br>

...or maybe I'm doing something wrong...</p>

<p>Rick. Here is the 2x2 roll 12 shot 120 film back. It is on the 1946 2x3 camera just like yours with same 101mm Ektar. If you pick up the camera by the roll film back and hold the camera face down then maybe one might get a light leak.If the slide is in place then there would be no leak. Otherwise the stock springs in the photo below from 1946 work well. My older brother bought this camera used in the 1960's from Olden Camera. These are the springs that were on the camera then. With a back like this you focus with the rangefinder or meter/feet scale. The 101mm is well corrected for colour film too. I am confused as why you want to make other springs. On this camera they have worked now for at least 4 decades. The two springs force the 2x2 Graphic back against the cameras back.

<p>The springs in your picture are not the ones I have. They look like the ones I'm having made up. The regular springs on the spring back are attached to the GG by two screws.<br>

I guess we were confused by the photo posted by Chuck. That is not my camera.</p>
