The ground glass will not spring away from the Graphic back far enough to fit the 405. Any ideas, this should fit right? Does anyone have a spare Graphic back to sell me? I could monify the back to fit the 405 but then my Calumet C2 would not fit, bacause of the extra space. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Ed. |

I THINK a Graflok back from a View II will fit your camera and the 405, but your idea of modifying a graphic back is probably cost effective. |
