I am looking at some Graflex film pack adapter backs for a Crown model. They also list a model #2 back. Will either of these accept Polaroid pack film? I found a site that listed a back that took Tri-X Film but there was not much more information. Any help would be great..... |

You would need a Polaroid 545 adapter to use the instant films. The 500 model won't work with the Fuji packs. The film pack adapters you mention were designed so you could change sheet film in daylight conditions, and thus only needed to carry one adapter, instead of a half dozen or so holders. PF |

A film pack is a pack of about 12 sheets of cut film in a pack and you pull a paper tab to move a new sheet of cut film into position after each shot. You use these in an FPA (film pack adapter). A Polaroid back is a Polaroid back. It will not accept a film pack. The 545 Polaroid back is obsolete. So is the 500. No more film for it. The only backs still usable are the 405 and 550. |

Fuji FP-100c and FP-3200c instant film packs will fit in the Polaroid 405 holders though. |
