Offered here is most of what you’ll need for a 6x10 expansion back project. I know some folks here followed my build project and you’ll recognize this as the components I used for V2 of my project which you can see completed here to give you a sense of what can be done with this. 6x10 is a very cool mini-banquet format (think same proportions as 12x20 at half the size and much more portable.
This sale includes:
- Rittreck 6x10 spring back, including ground glass and fresnel, temporarily mounted to a hand made square rear frame
- The attached bellows that offer a maximum of 14-inches additional expansion
- Mounted components of a Toyo extension assembly with rear swing and mounting plate with 1/4-20 screw
- 7 Rittreck 6x10 double sided film holders
My project was based around expanding a Deardorff 4x5 Special so the height that the spring back is mounted to the Toyo assembly is currently set for that. If you’re using the same camera you shouldn’t need to change that. It would likely also be good for other similar size 4x5 cameras of similar design. It’s also easily modified to fit other requirements specific to your preferred camera/project. Not included is the rear frame that would attach the bellows to the camera body. You will need to make/provide your own for that specific to the camera used for your project. Also included are seven very difficult to find 6x10 film holders. Some of these are ready to use and some need some minor re-gluing where the dark slide enters the holder. Getting them re-glued will take nothing more than a bit of wood glue and 30 min.
I’m moving on to additional versions of my ever-evolving project so I’m happy to let these parts go to a new project. To cover my costs, asking $415 OBO for everything plus $20 shipping. ($50 for international). Payment via PayPal.
