Polaroid Material for Mamiya RB67

Joachim Zettl · Sep 26, 2014

I know this topic pops up every now and then. But the situation is changing continously.
I am looking for a black and white polaroid material for the RB67 pola back. I found the Fuji 100c for colour, the Fuji 100b is no longer available.
Can I use the expensive "Impossible" material in the RB67 backs? Any other ideas?

There were 3rd party backs for the Mamiya 120 'lego' cameras one may be impossible compatible.

Try google.

Somebody in Fuji hates B&W films, not only instax films are color only, they also discontinue B&W 100b and 3000b. I see on amazon and ebay still some old stocks - better hurry up and buy now as much as you can.

And they discontinued Neopan 400!

Fuji FP3000B (their last b&w instant film) has been discontinued recently so prices have risen but it is still available new and in-date. I've shot 6-7 year out-of-date FP3000B and it was indistinguishable from new, I might have been lucky with good storage, I don't know.

Anything else will be a kludge of putting the film in the back piece by piece and transferring it in the dark to an Instax or Polaroid camera. Do-able but not so much fun or efficient.

Impossible film is for the integral film cameras, like Polaroid's Spectra, SX70, all of their 600 models.

In the link the MF6 is for the 600/SX70 film

which is an impossible size?

There was another similar supplier?

Thank you all. Just ordered a bunch of 100c and 3000b.
If this is all gone, I will have to find a way to use the expensive but trendy impossible films.

Bit unfair they are a start up still making improvements.
And are starting some DSLR people down the slippery slope to using normal film...
They will be better by the time you finish the Fuji or bankrupt - cause you are feeding the big green Dino in ICU.

You are right, Impossible are beeing inovative and should get some support by us. I will pay a visit next time I'm in Vienna this autumn.
