I was given a pristine (almost mint especially for its age) Korona View camera, the only problem is that it came with a funky 3 1/4 by 4 1/2 back, but I'm pretty sure that this is a reducing back and the camera was originally designed for 4x5 . Is there any way of finding a compatible back, or modifying a compatible back, or even (affordably) having someone make a back so that it could take 4x5 film?

Thanks

I might have one, but it will take a few days for me to check.

I see you're from Boston. Come to the Photographica show in Wakefield on April 11/12. There will be all sorts of stuff there to tempt you!
