Polaroid backs for Bronica SQ
I have bought an NPC Polaroid back for my Bronica SQ aM. I had heard that the Fuji instant film could be used. Does anyone know if that's correct? If so, which film, and is it still available? Many thanks, Alex.

You need the Fujifilm FP100 (colour) or FP3000 (black and white). I don't think there is an ISO 100 black and white version any more.

Thanks, Steve. I only bought it to try out instant film. The back was quite cheap and in great condition. I will look for some of these films to try out.

Any experience with the equivalent back for 500C/M Hasselblad? Once the print is peeled, is there a negative?

I don't know much about this yet as I've never used instant film before. The back I have, however, is made by NPC to fit the Bronica. It appears to be well made and fits straight on to my camera. It came with instructions which show that it can be adjusted for a better fit if necessary. The camera functions with it fitted. I assume they made one for the Hasselblad as well. I have seen them advertised for other cameras. I have ordered some of the colour print film to try. I can post some info when it arrives.

I had a Polaroid back for my SQ but sold it on when I found out the cost of feeding it.

I have a polaroid back for my RB67, and a Polaroid film pack ready to go in. I have read somewhere that the film pack is fractionally thicker than the original, so the first shot may be a bit tight to get out, but after that all should be well.
Have not used it yet, so can not comment from first hand experiance. Not sure if this helps or hinders. Ian

My film should arrive in the next few days. I will keep in mind that it may be a tight fit. The back I have is made by NPC. I don't know why it would have been preferable to the original Bronica item. Perhaps it was a cheaper alternative? I had no interest in this type of equipment at the time it was originally on sale, although I did read lots of photo mags and books. I don't recall seeing any NPC products advertised.

Hi Alex,
Been looking about for some help on this, came across this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAC2tEQEgFI I think the bit that will be of use for you starts at about 11 min 50sec. Hope this helps, think I might watch it a few more times yet. Ian
