Hi folks,
Love this web site. I looked through all the
questions here and didn't find the answer,
although I did go slightly blind by the end.
I recently purchased a Speed Graphic outfit
that included the obsolete Polaroid 500 back,
but also one that has no model number. It just
says "Graphic Polaroid Back, Graflex Inc."
The box it came in says Cat. 9108, if that
is any help. It is all metal and looks like
it has been used maybe 10 times. It has one silver
release on the right, and one red one on the left.
Can anyone tell me whether this is usable, and if
so, what kind of film, whether I can buy it
on the net, etc? This is my first large-format
camera so anything else I should know about
this piece of equipment would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks very much. I can supply
pictures of it if necessary.
