Hi, Arnold,
The register of the Pentax 6X7 is 84.95 mm ( I assume at 20 Celsius) .
The Tak 6X7 cameras are still costly and beyond my budget. And, as I read, sometimes unreliable
However, the older Tak 6x7 lenses are possibly the best/lowest cost medium format lenses available.
So I had purchased a set of Tak 6X7 lenses and adapted them to my Speed Graphic ( see my thread on this)
Well ..... I learned that to walk around with a Speed loaded with a RF Back and a Tak.... and then focus and fire it... that is not Chimping... you need to be a full grown and very fit Gorilla.
So I built the camera, it merges the Tak to the Graflex RF Back but is much lighter and simpler, and I custom built the viewfinder for my aging diopter.
