Does anyone know of a good source for the RZ67 Polaroid backs that doesn't break the bank? I kick around from time to time with a beater RZ67 Pro and would love to get a back, but the prices on the 'bay plus shipping from Japan approach 1/3 of what I paid for the camera! (If anyone has a beater back that works, I'd be interested...)
Only one film still in production: Fuji FP-100c. ISO 100 colour film. About $9 a pack from B&H. FP-3000b ISO 3000 b&w was discontinued just a year or two ago, so fairly fresh stuff can still be found.
For about the same price as a back, you might consider just buying an old Polaroid pack film camera. Somewhat larger rectangular print than the 7x7 cm square you will get with your mamiya, and easier to cart around. The prints are not that sharp anyway (the bleached negative can be) so the superior mamiya lenses won't really shine.
I actually have a 250 - it's a great camera, and I think was one of a few models that actually had a glass (as opposed to plastic) lens. Zeiss viewfinder too. But it's maddening not having aperture/shutter control.
For me, I'd want the back to do a few test shots for the camera. Considering a roll of 120 plus development isn't exactly pennies anymore, it would be nice to at least have a quick check on whether what I'm planning to shoot is actually going to shoot the way I want it to shoot!
