I have just printed this Rittreck 5x7 film back for my camera, I have the 4x5 film but wanted to see if this would work. Its not my design, it was on Thingy Verse made by Hawkeyes0v0. I made the ground glass from 3mm acrylic sheet and sprayed with frosting spray. This view is with a 360mm lense fitted, I have just ordered some film and a film back to try it out.

That looks very nice , all I have printed so far is lens boards for the pacemaker graphics - the curled metal edges are not easy to diy but easy to 3D.
I need somewhere to site the printer for longer to try more , The film Laundry guy Awty? Has some great designs Including his 7x17 camera that I would love to do if I had space/time and less projects.

that's a great result , in my opinion5x7 is worth the effort for B&W when you have the means to DIY and work around things.
The format is natural , the GG image is more comfortable toward with than 5x4 (likewise the contact print is viable) and most of all
its much more practical than 8x10 to carry , not so much the camera , Intrepids are light , it's the film holders that are bulky/heavy`
