[LargeFormat] Graflex roll film back

[Dave Southwood]

i dont think any linhof has a graflok style back. i was hoping that there
would be some reciprocity with roll-film backs, and that i would somehow be
able to fit the graflex number onto my technika. alas

i have just spotted a graflex 6 by 9 in an obscure pawn shop for a price
which, with the dollar/rand exchange, would make all you greenback earners
cry so the issue is resolved. thanks for the input
