I wonder if there were any accessory viewing backs other than ground-glass Graflok backs available for the those cameras which accepted the Graflok back. Binocular Reflex viewing backs/hoods for true view cameras such as Sinars are wonderful. I don't suspect that a Sinar viewing back could be attached to a Graflok-accepting Graphic. Would I be right?

There are now TWO of us who want to know the answer to this question. I was thinking the same thing the other day. I have a Graphic View II and a Crown set up as a light field camera, and such an accessory would be incredibly useful on either of them.

I got one...

It is a hooded reflex viewer made for the Polaroid MP-4 Land Camera (a rather sophisticated copy camera).

This creature fits snugly on the back of 4x5 Graphics (NO modifications required) using the Graflok back (and I would venture to say that it fits the older spring backs as well). All you need to do to install it is remove the folding hood by way of the spring-clips and replace it with the Reflex Viewer!

Can be had at your finer junk-camera shops or at Ebay for a song (got mine for $25 at a shop near Virginia Tech). I will be posting pics here soon so keep looking!
