K. B. Canham is pleased to offer the first motorized 6x17 roll film back for use on any of the Canham 5x7 view cameras (other cameras can be used, but note that we have not personally try this roll film back on any other cameras, but have heard of other photographers that have been able to adapt the roll film back to other cameras). The back is manufactured from 6061 T6 aluminium. Each metal component is machined from solid aluminium blocks. No castings are used. This method of manufacturing assures that each part is made to the most demanding tolerances. The film plane, pressure plate, is flat to within 0.0005 inches (0.0127mm). The back operates on a 9 volt battery. The electronic film winder has built in memory. This permits the user to change batteries mid-roll without losing film position. A low battery warning is incorporated to let you know when it is time to change a battery. The warning lights blink early enough so that the film currently in the back can be completed before you change the battery. Over 30 rolls of film can be shot using just one battery.
