Hi, I'm considering buying a Pentax 645Nii and want to know if there is a Polaroid back for this camera. I've downloaded the manual and surfed the web but couldn't find a definite answer.
Thank you,
John

Pretty sure there is no Polaroid back available for the Pentax 645 since the camera does not have interchangeable backs. The Mamiya 645 Super and 645 Pro have interchangeable backs, including a Polaroid back.

Thanks for the info Hovis. I see the Pentax has film inserts instead of backs......

There is a Polaroid back for the Pentax 645. It is made by NPC. Lens and Repro has a used one and there is at least one on ebay. Problem is you can't use it mid roll. You have to use it before loading or after shoot your regular film because you can't remove your film insert mid roll. It is best used with a separate dedicated body. Lord knows they are cheap enough these days!
