Really David? Boy, did I get that wrong. Glad to hear that as well. I would've gone that route had I known! Oh well. Good to know for the future. Maybe one day I'll try some mf roll film in a holder.

Chris, calumet sells a roll film holder that fits ours just fine. They have all the 6x whatevers you would want. I love 6x12 negatives. Nice thing is it works like a film holder not an attachment like the ones that need a graflock back.

Yeah, I've got one of those. What a price, I paid about $400 used for it and I've used it less than a dozen times. Plus the damn thing can barely be used with Konica infrared. I had to make a metal darkslide for it as the plastic one was IR permeable and the seals leak IR pretty bad too. The IR film was the main reason I bought it too. GRRRR.
I also had to cut a film holder for my Beseler from a smaller size.
As for panoramas its easier to shoot 4x5 full frame and crop.
One of these days I'll find something really good to use it for.

A quick measurement shows that a Grafmatic is 15/16" at its thickest point, so if you can clear an inch under the groundglass, you should be able to use one.

Since Chris and I have the same camera, and I know I can, he should be able to.

Gary if you don't want that back, I'll buy it from you! seriously.
I took a 6X9 negative holder from beseler and cut it out and finished it for a 6x12
