Someone in Memphis has this HP401 back which they say is for a Mamiya 645. Does anyone know if it is compatible with the 645AF? I cannot find any information for the life of me.

Thanks.

The HM401 back is the film back for the 645AF, of this I am certain. I'm thinking the HP401 is the Polaroid back maybe?

UPDATE: According to B&H Photo, the HP402 is the Polaroid back for the 645AF:

Right, I knew it was a Polaroid back, but everything I read last night said it was for the Pro Super and TL. I was wondering if this could also be used on the 645AF.

It probably doesn't have the electronic coupling for use on an 645AF.

I guess the only way to be sure is to e-mail Mamiya. They responded fairly quickly to a question I had on Metz flash adapter modules and which cameras they support.
