RE: 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.
