Delightful polaroid film backs....and FP-100

[Holly]

Hey all,

quick question for you:

will any brand of instant film fit into a mamiya RZ polaroid film back?
i mean, sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a difference in the
film cartridge for polaroid or fuji FP100 ?
trying to settle a bet.

The Fuji FP100 is the same package as the Polaroid pack films so they will both fit.

Any brand

There's only what's left of Polaroid stock and then Fuji wh0 do make a film pack that will fit your back, FP100C 3.25" X 4.25".

You do for 5"x4" but not the roll film holders, Polaroid weren't able to Patent the film packs because there were already numerous existing Patents (many expired) from before WWII.

Good morning;

Ian's comments about the need for a different pack or film holder for 4 by 5 is true, unfortunately.

Here for the 4 by 5, in additon to the original Polaroid 500 film holder, there are also two flavors of the Polaroid 545, a Kodak ReadyLoad, and a Fujifilm QuickLoad holder.
