Yes, I did. It is a 6x24cm roll film back, for my home made camera with a
Nikon 300mm f9 lens. It uses a simple construction inspired by Linhof 617
camera. Unlike this camera it also features a simple way of "continuously
regulatable film drag force" which means that in whatever moment of frame
changing I can adjust the force whit which the film is draged from the
spool. Much easier in its use than its description sounds... I put there
this feature for fear of insufficient film flatnes but it showed up that I
don't need to use it at all. Even with a 8x loupe I can't fine any unsharp
place on the slides the camera produces! George
