Apparently, the trick with the older, cheaper backs is to look for the
Graphlex 23 lever wind back. This had some refinements over the knob wind
to keep the film flatter, is easier to use and is cheaper than the RB back
if you can find it. Try www.bigcamera.com - some information there about
using them on Mamiya Press cameras which had a Graphlex adaptor available.
