Graphic back accessories have one or two raised ridges for a light trap while Graflex back accessories are flat with a groove. Also Graflex back cameras in 3x4 and 4x5 format take rollholders, etc. that are slightly wider. Look for some labeling on the side of the grafmatic that faces the camera back such as "3 1/4 x 4 1/4 GRAPHIC" or "3 1/4 x 4 1/4 GRAFLEX". Regards, Dave |
