Singer RH70 Back Questions

["Eric Boutilier-Brown" <ebb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have picked up a Singer RH50 back, and am about to begin arranging to work
with it on my Wisner 4x5; I have an IR bellows on the way, and will be
building a new back-frame to house the back, but before I actually put some
film through it, I have so questions, in the hopes that others on the list
have used an RH50 back for 70mm IR.

The main question is concerning the pressure plate - it has a pattern of 10
holes in it - does these show up on the IR negs? I suspect they will, as the
pressure plate on an EOS 3, which has a hole cut in it for a data back,
causes problems. If it will show on images, what are my options? Fill them
with epoxy and paint them black? Is there a reason for holes in a pressure
plate, and if so, am I going to have a problem if I full them in?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Take care,

e.
