The Graflex RH8 is a 120 roll film holder designed to attach to 4×5 large-format cameras equipped with a Graflok back, allowing photographers to shoot 6x9cm (2¼ x 3¼ inch) roll film images instead of individual sheet film. It’s aimed at large-format photographers who want the convenience and lower cost-per-frame of roll film without giving up their 4×5 camera system.
The holder produces 8 exposures per roll of standard 120 film at a 6x9cm image size, a popular medium-format aspect ratio often described as offering a “postcard-sized” negative. Film advance is handled by a lever mechanism, letting photographers wind to the next frame with a simple lever motion rather than a knob, and the back attaches specifically to cameras using the Graflok back system, distinguishing it from the earlier Graflex-back roll holders of the same nominal size that use a different attachment mechanism.
Build quality consists of a durable metal body construction, with typical dimensions of approximately 172 x 120 x 48mm and a weight of about 475g, consistent with other roll film backs from Graflex’s large-format accessory lineup. Because Graflex, Graphic, and later “+g” marked roll holders were produced across different eras with some compatibility nuances between backs, photographers should confirm this specific RH8 unit’s compatibility with their particular 4×5 camera’s back type before use.
