Looked at the Polaroid site - they sell a number of backs see http://www.polaroid.ca/html/products/hardware/filmhold/fsFilmhold.html
I'm assuming a 550 back would work. Yeeeeears ago I fiddled around with making my own Polaroid back. I has a bunch of 4x5 single sheet polaroid (I forget the number) I have a back for these, but I was able to figure out how to process the film without the back. Its very easy You simply roll a something hard and round (I used a large jam jar) over the film starting from the chemical pod end - it bursts the pod and spreads the chemicals onto the film and viola a processed polaroid. The single sheet films have a paper darkslide with the pod, that fits over the film. The single sheet back has a latch to hold the film in place allowing you to pull the darkslide out of the way to take a picture. When you're done taking you move a lever it disengages the latch and pushes two rollers together to burst the pod. A pinhole back could be made to mimic the latch mechanism. - the processing can be done with a jam jar Of course once you get pinhole polaroids you'll want to try polaroid transfers :) http://www.kathleencarr.com/ Gord On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Guillermo wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Gordon J.
