RB, which backs can I use?

[markbarendt]

Looking at backs for my RB at KEH.

My camera does not say S or SD, it does have the rotating adapter.

Will the S or SD backs work? Do they all interchange?

I have an RB professional (no s or sd) with both plain backs and Pro-S backs that work fine. The pro-s backs are actually a bit nicer to use. I am pretty sure you can also use the pro-sd backs as well.

Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer- but you CAN use Pro-S backs on the RB- and possibly the pro-sd backs also.

Good luck,

Matt

I use RB backs on my century graphic. Are the singer backs for the Century Graphic compatible with the RB67? I have heard of many folks using RB backs on Century graphics, but I haven't heard of anyone swapping the other way around.

While the singer/graflex backs are not as well built as the RB backs, they function well and the lever advance backs have the rollers to improve film flatness.

I have heard of many folks using RB backs on Century graphics, but I haven't heard of anyone swapping the other way around.

It works both ways, but the graflex backs don't have double exposure prevention. I used to use a 6x6 graflex back on an RB67 so I could shoot square frames without having to crop (or waste film).
