I was not aware they made a 6x8 back. If so, that is very neat, but I thought that you were supposed to get nine pix from 6x8. Are you sure it is not a 6x9 back? It looks like one, based on the picture of the film gate.

Would the back fit on a 4x5 speed graphic.

Yep; if it has a Graflok back (or a spring back that has been semi-permanently modified to accept only roll film holders, i.e. glass removed). Horesman also made them to fit 2x3 Graflok backs, but this one is for 4x5.

Will the roll film back be in the same focal plane as the focus screen?

 

[Eric Rose]

yes it sits on the same plane as the film. I measured the opening and unless I screwed up it was maybe between 8 and 9 cm's.

Sounds like 6x9 to me. Usually the stated dimensions for a format to not exactly match the actual dimensions of the image. Is the "bargain" condition rating due solely to cosmetics, or are there any functional issues?

Strictly cosmetics. For a "real" photographer it wouldn't matter one bit.
