A while back, I bought a really nice used Bronica SQ-A from a local dealer. He's also sold me a couple of Mamiya's, and I've been very pleased with my purchases.
The SQ-A came with a 220-only back, so I had to find a 120 back, which I added in June. I still have the 220 back, but finding a 120 insert is like searching for Blackbeard's treasure. I finally located a complete back from a dealer in Alabama, and it's on its way now.
Back to the 220 back - I searched KEH for backs, and ran across a 120 back with insert, for the princely sum of $34.00, including shipping. The only thing wrong with the back, is that it's missing the Bronica name plate. It fits fine, and I'll test it and the 220 shell with the 120 insert in the coming weeks Sometimes you do find treasure.
