In Reply to: Unknown Polaroid Back posted by Wendell on March 28, 2001 at 11:00:27:: 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.
The 9108 takes Polaroid roll film, which was discontinued back
in the 1980's.
It's just a collector's item now.
The back is a model 95 camera back. See the Land list for
information on that and the film.
