Applications
Beattie Systems, Inc. was a U.S. manufacturer best known for its Intenscreen bright focusing screens, but the company also produced a range of roll film backs and film-plane adapters like the Converter 67 series. These converters were used to adapt large-format cameras and scientific or industrial imaging equipment — such as copy stands, process cameras, and repro cameras — to accept medium-format 6×7 cm roll film in place of sheet film or a ground glass back. They were commonly used in professional photographic studios, reprographic and prepress shops, and technical/scientific imaging environments from the 1970s through the 1990s. Today, units like the D-67-S are sought by photographers working with vintage large-format systems, collectors of classic photographic equipment, and those maintaining legacy reprographic or copy-stand setups that require a roll film interface.
This Beattie Systems D-67-S Converter 67 roll film back is being sold as-is for parts. The film cover and dark slide can be removed. The body shows surface wear, scuffing, and minor scratches consistent with its age and previous use.
