RE: (Fwd) Pentax 645 70mm back

["Michael Dziak" <fetch_the_ball@xxxxxxx>]

To the best of my knowledge it's been around since the 645 system was 
introduced.  Rather rare, not to many people use it.

Didn't know this one existed, spotted it today in the B+H catalog 
(US$799.95, including eye piece)
Anyone knowing how long this back has been around?

I will put up a web page with all 70mm back solutions available, past 
& present.

- Beattie bulk 6x7 & 6x4 (Mamiya RB/RZ) [ID-unit optional]
- Bronica 6x4.5 "ETR(S)" [past]
- Hasselblad 6x6
- Mamiya 6x7 "RB"
- Pentax 6x4.5 "645"
- Rollei 6x6 "600x" [ID-unit optional]
- Seitz Roundshot "65/220" [360 degree pan camera, accepts both
120/220 and 70mm, don't know of any other camera that does]

- Various military cameras
(chasing a military pan camera as we speak)

- Graflex 6x7 "4x5 (Graflock back)" [past]
(never one for the 23 or 34 series, right?)


Might be heaps more obscure view camera backs....anyone?
