Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Back for Pinhole?
The older Model 500 4x5 sheet film back will not work properly with the new (current production) polaroid sheet film. If you are very carefull, you can use the new film in the old back, but it is VERY easy to do it wrong -- wasting a sheet of film. Any Model 545 back should work properly (it ia almost fool proof) no matter how old it is. Mike Vande Bunt Steve Bell wrote: Hey everyone, I've another question.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Back for Pinhole?
Steve, I would stay away from the model 500 back. For PinPolaroids I just tape a 50 sheet 4x5 film box to the front of my polaroid back. If you want real wide angle you can use a 10 sheet box or a 100 sheet box for a closer to normal view. The 10 sheet box works well with multiple pinholes. You can mount a T-nut in a piece of 1x2x5 inch wood and rubber band this to you box/back combo to allow for tripod use. = Original Message From Steve Bell veracity...@earthlink.net = Hey everyone, I've another question.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Back for Pinhole?
Steve, The older model, #500, is the one some people can't quite get to work right. These go for about $5 plus shipping on a good day. I used one exclusively with Type 55 P/N (black and white), and with the type 79 (color). Mine was pretty busted and old but it worked perfectly. I think the new model is the 545 and the 545i - on these make sure you buy one with a metal lever - the plastic ones seem to snap off by their own will power.
