Description: This particular listing is a bit of a passion project for me , as I have always been interested in the Graflex XL. Since it is a pretty rare bird, it took me forever to acquire. Now that I have one, I had to make an instant back for it!! Keep checking my listings, I may make other stuff for this great press camera! This 3-D printed back is an opportunity for you to maximize the versatility of your Graflex XL. This is one of my custom "Lo- Fi" designs for your creative enjoyment. It allows you to shoot Polaroid Originals I-type film, 600 film, and SX-70 film! I designed it so the camera has no clearance issues like some backs. This back allows you to set your camera down flat on a table without removing the back. It is also dialed perfectly into the film plane so you can use your rangefinder/ viewfinder of your choice to take your pictures. It uses four aaa batteries, so the film doesn’t need an internal battery. This is handy with old film that may have a bad battery, and also the cheap and common I type film. The eject button is just a momentary switch so you just hold it down until the film is ejected and then release the button. This takes some getting used to, but by the 3rd pack I was perfect at it! I reinforced the mounting screws for a perfectly tight fit that is really strong. I printed solid tops and bottoms with fill at 50 percent(much more than the average 20 percent fill that typical 3-d objects are printed). There is no cropping! The only limitation may be vignetting with certain lenses, but my 80mm had no cropping, no vignetting! I have included a pack with used/bad photos so you can practice your ejection skills before you mount the back- just eject and reload until you are comfortable with the eject. The back is pre-loaded with batteries and I included some fresh ones- have fun!! About me: I am an artist, college professor, creative photographer, and maker. I sell mostly Polaroid cameras, shoot mostly analog, and love to hack things. I am and have always been a huge fan of the DIY movement. I have a blog called Lo-Fi and DIY com(lofianddiy). Note: I put 10 business days handling on my custom camera backs because I make them to order. I often come in at earlier than that time, but sometimes I experience a lot of orders(not complaining!), so I will likely need a lot of that time to get it built and shipped to you. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding! Aaron
