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.

Zoe ★★★★★

The RH8 attaches perfectly to my 4x5's Graflok back, giving me a second medium-format option. Took a chance on this untested holder and it winds film smoothly with no light leaks so far.

James F. ★★★★★

Was a bit nervous buying untested gear, but the roller mechanism on this RH8 feels surprisingly smooth when I advance it by hand. Mounted it on my Speed Graphic without any issues—fits perfectly into the Grafmatic slot. For the price, definitely worth the risk.

Abigail ★★★★☆

The RH8 fits my 4x5 Cambo like a glove, and the 120 roll film back is exactly what I needed for field work without lugging sheet film holders. It's clearly used with some wear, but the price was fair for an untested piece, and the spring mechanism feels solid enough that I'm not worried about light
