I recently bought a lot of 35mm film equipment for two lenses I wanted and these were with them. I shoot only 35mm so I'm stumped. They look like backs but I have idea what they attach to. There's no name or brand just a serial number. Anyone know what camera it's for (if they are backs) ?

First three pics aren't working but I believe those are mamiya rz67 backs

Edit: I take that back... Mamiya backs clearly say mamiya...

Yup! They're roll-film backs! Question is, Whose? Are there any other markings? Strange characters could be Cyrillic the written Russian language for Kiev/Zenith 66's. And there's no end of other makes of roll film SLR's they could fit; Kowa, and my memory's just gone blank! Or they could be for a 'field camera (for glass plates/sheet film).

I'd not expect backs to have that thing in the middle - I'd expect empty hole or hole with dark slide visible. So waiting for photos of the other side.

Kowa Super 66. Selling them may pay for the rest of your purchase;-)
