Polaroid Back

<p>Hello im just looking for a place to find a polaroid back for my Mamiya rb67 pro s. Ive been searching the internet and I've had no luck also is there a certain back i should be looking for in specific? I plan on using in just to take polaroids with I've seen some images it can produce and I'm intrigued. Thanks!</p>

<p>Have you worked out where you are going to get Polaroid <em>film</em>? That's a necessary first step in the process.<br>

I am not sure what Fuji, the last one standing (are they?), is doing with instant film, but I have heard that their films in this medium are not necessarily compatible with the older Polaroid film holders.</p>

<p>I got a pack of the "Impossible" film for my SX70, but haven't yet shot with it.</p><div></div>

<p>Oh wow. I was under the impression that the fuji worked with it i was just going to get whatever was available.</p>

<br />You can also look for an <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/38577-REG/NPC_MF3_Polaroid_Film_Back_for.html">MF3 back</a> from a company called NPC. </p>

<p>Ive seen some ads on ebay but they say from Japan which seems shady to me I'm not sure.</p>

<p>I understand Mamiya is Japanesse company I'm just not sure if they are knock offs or something like that.</p>

Freestylephoto.biz has a good selection of instant film that should work.

<p>The Fuji films work in the backs I have for my Mamiya RZ, Hasselblad 503CW and Polaroid 600SE, so if your RB back is not that old I assume it would work.<br>

I don't think any of the Impossible instant films will work - and I have had poor quality images from this films that I used in my 'new' Polaroid SX-70. The colours were poor and not at all comparable with the images I took - and still have in all their vibrancy - nearly 30 years ago!<br>

<p>Sorry - I should have added that Mifsuds (located in Devon, England) currently have a Mamiya Pro S Polaroid Back for £29 (29 Pounds Sterling) although there is no condition stated.</p>

<p>Thats unfortunate im located in the states. </p>

<p>As has been mentioned there are several backs that fit the RB67 that will take the currently available Fuji instant films. The one I use was made by NPC. I had an older one that was originally made for a Mamiya Press/Universal that fit directly on the RB67 body without the rotational adapter in place. It was bulkier but worked just fine.<br>

There was also one back made for the RB67 that would take SX-70 film. I believe the Impossible Project film is the same format. The SX-70 back for the RB67 was an unusual item and probably a bit scarce now but I'm sure there are some out there somewhere.<br>

As an aside, when you shot with it you pushed a button on the back to eject/process the film. As the film was ejected the back emitted an appropriate sound...sorta a <em>Bleeeeech</em> kinda thing.<br>
