Sinor Norma: 5x7 conversion kit

[Darryl Roberts]

Hi,

Anyone familiar with the back on this? It looks different than my 4x5 back?

It's a 5x7 Norma Conversion Kit. 5x7 Norma Rear Standard, 5x7 WA Bag Bellows, Regular 5x7 accordion Norma Bellows.

It interchanges with your 4x5 back. You replace the whole back part of the camera.

That bail and back part is not original Norma, it looks homemade to me. Might work with 5x7 holders but beware.

EDIT: Thinking about it some more, you can take part of your 4x5 standard apart, and it will replace the homemade part of the 5x7 rear standard. If in good mechanical shape you should be OK

The 4x5 and 5x7 Norma use the same standard bearer; they are interchangeable.

Thank you VERY much

The main question is whether or not the Rear standard takes a modern 5x7 holder (if that is what you want).

Real early Norma stuff was black, not green. This could have been an early spring back made by Sinar, that would be very unusual. Usually the 5x7 back is Norma Green, like the rest of the system. It's not a bad price if it will work for you.

Glenn Evans has an interesting Norma section on his website. Lots of interesting information

Thank you. Yes, I'm familiar with it.

Read and reread the instruction book. Then you will understand what accessories are important to you.

Enjoy the 5x7 kit; Looks cleaner than mine
