Ebay item# 200324231598.

I clicked the Bid button, at around 3am when I should know better. Not sure whether this is really a polaroid back for Hasselblad V series or not or what film it takes. Luckily, I won the bid for only USD20, so not really that bad if it turns out it's not the correct one.

So can somebody identify for certain what polaroid back this is. Thanks in advance
 
It's a genuine Hasselblad Pola 80 back.

It takes the old Polaroid 80 series film, as opposed to the 100-series the later Hasselblad Pola-backs take.

The Pola 80 has a protruding glass plate, and should never be put on a 2000- or 200-series Hasselblad, nor on any of the SW(...) cameras.
 
Your next problem is finding Polaroid film which is out of production.

Aha :smile: I knew something was not right...taught me a lesson do not bid on ebay, after just woken up at 3am in the morning... Well looks like it will go back on sale on fleabay after I receive it .. Anyone wants a pola 80 back? Anyone? :smile:
 
If you are paying, why not? :wink:


Fuji still makes instant film.
I believe they also made some that fits this back.
Have a look at what they offer before sending me your back.
 
Fuji do indeed make instant film, but only in 100 series size. There are stocks of polaroid peel-apart film left to, in 100 size.
80 series (Square) has been dead for some time unfortunately, and its unlikely to be replicated.
