I just got a polaroid back for my RZ, and already I wasted to packs of FP-100 because the film comes out wrong. Resistance is very high, and when I pull out the black paper sheet it doesn't pull the white tabs with it. Second, when I pull the white tab, it somehow messes up the alignment of the positive and negative. What am I doing wrong? Help me please!!!

Have you cleaned the rollers? That's my best guess. Either that, or the back is faulty.

this is the one ? there are others. Did you insert the FP100 right ? leave the white tabs out. Look (no film in the back!)on the left side of the roller: lot of leavings from previous film ? Clean it. success !

Thanks, this is not the back, mine seems older and has a bare aluminum casing with faux leather on the back. I've cleaned it thoroughly, will report back after next attempt! (not possible to buy film on koningsdag),

You're not feeding anything through the rollers when you are loading are you? Nothing goes through the rollers.
