Re: 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.
