Rollfim adapter for Zeiss Ikon Maximar

[Paul Ozzello]

I have a Maximar A 6x9 plate camera and want to get a rollfilm adapter for it like the one on this blog. Does anyone know what it is ?

I have two Rollex backs, like these: https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Rollex_rollfilm_back
Available in 6x9 and 9x12.

Thanks guys! I think I'll try one of those Radas. I noticed they come with 6x6 and 4.5x6 inserts - I assume I can use the back without if I want to shoot 6x9 ?

Yes, and most come without the inserts. Be aware that there are many variations to fit different cameras.

The Rada's were made for quite some different German camera's. Be sure to get one with the rims suited for ICA or Zeiss cameras which both made the Maximar. See here for the different rims (edges):

I found one NIB a few years ago, with the 6x6 insert, the box isn't pristine but the Rada back is. Be aware that Plaubel Rada backs are post WWII Graflok type International fit backs, just like the Linhof Rollex backs.

Rollex roll film backs are much more common so far easier to find, and often quite cheap.
