Unfortunately, no. The 1000s does not use interchangable backs, so you can't get more backs and change mid-roll either. You CAN get additional inserts and pre-load them for quick film loads. Same with the Polaroid - you need to move up to the Pro or Pro-TL (but not the AF model - I got my Polaroid back free from someone who bought it not realizing it wouldn't work on his 645AF.)
I've been finding the Polaroid back fun, and it's useful for proofing, but the lack of one isn't a big thing. Bear in mind how small the image is. The print area is the size of a contact print from your negatives. It wastes a lot of the 3.25x4.25 Fuji film area.
I'd stick with the 1000s for now and build a system around some lenses and get some inserts. If mid roll film changes are really important, you can then add a Pro or Pro-TL body and some inserts, prism and winder too if you want, for not much money at all, and use both bodies with all your lenses.
Guess I'll keep what I got, and find a Polaroid that will shoot Fuji FP. Really loving this and I even found a 45 f2.8 with a hood and caps locally for 150.
I put one of my EOS lenses up to it and it doesn't vignette in the viewfinder, will it still vignette on the neg?
j-dogg... I posted earlier that 6x4.5 is one of those "in-between" formats but the truth is, it definitely is a leap beyond 135.
Good for you j-dogg!
Hey you get 16 shots per roll, you don't need additional inserts.
Humm, interesting perspective. I expected the 645 to mostly supplant 35mm but it hasn't. Too big and too heavy for that (and, to be fair, right now I only have the one lens where in 35mm I have two excellent Series 1 zooms covering 28-105 and 70-210, a fast 50mm prime, and a couple of cheap slow 35-70 or so zooms in 35mm.) I do like it, and we'll see how I feel when I pick up a couple more lenses, but right now given that I'm limited to 80mm in either case I'm more likely to reach for my Yashicamat when I want to shoot medium format, even though it does mean I also carry my Luna Pro, unless I need to shoot faster or to do rapid film changes, mid roll if needed. Even if I didn't have the interchangeable backs I still find loading film into the Yashica a fiddly PITA. Loading the 645 inserts is much easier.
.Matt: My 645 AFDIII gives me 16 images. All the time. I enjoyed reading this discussion since I am a newbe to MF.
Yeah I love this, I've already taken 4 shots with it and plan on finishing the roll this week.
Since this is my first time with MF, couple things. F$&%#$& it's heavy, it weighs about as much as my Nikkormat FTn with a Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f3.5 on it. It's HUGE. Makes my Canon 5D with battery grip look like a toy.
The left grip takes some time getting used to. I've shot SLR's in 135 for a long time and the business end is on the right side. Though it's MF I have a rough idea of their 35mm equivalents, the 150 I believe is close to about 90-93mm 35mm-equivalent.
How wide does the 35mm come out to be? I want to get a decent wide, the 80 1.9 (which is the 50mm equivalent) and maybe something with more reach like the 210 or 300. Not ruling out A glass, which seems to be their equivalent of Canon L glass (of which I own a few) the 150 2.8 looks like that could be great for portraits.
Also how accurate is the light meter? It seems to be close to my 5D which is dead-nuts on. And my noob MF question for the day....are the exposures supposed to be the same as 35mm? I find at 400 ISO a shot that should be a 1/60th is like 1/100 or 1/125 on my digital. I'll have to check it again, I know my digital Rebel has a smaller sensor and it's always running a higher shutter speed than my 5D which would make sense on the 120 if true.
