#WHAT DID THE MAMIYA 7 II COST NEW PRO#
I've seen backs for the 600SE before, and figured I could make one for my Mamiya Universal! I stuck with the basic 545 back because it was only $10, as opposed to the 545i that usually sells for at least $50, and the Pro for even more. Lots of choices! So.I wanted to be able to use some of this film. Type 53 (old) - BW, ASA 200, acetate negative
#WHAT DID THE MAMIYA 7 II COST NEW PROFESSIONAL#
There is actually an interesting variety.most likely because this was regarded as professional film. Until now.įirst, let's get to know the different Type 50 films that were available. For that reason, and because the film tends to be much more expensive, I've been avoiding it. The caveat is that you only have a back.you need to provide the camera, typically a large format camera. The 545 was the original back, the 545i was an updated version (basically the same, just prettier), and the Pro has a built in timer and thermometer, I believe. There may be others, but I'm still figuring all of this out.

In looking at ebay now, it seems prices have gone up (quite a bit) since the last time I bought any Mamiya 7 stuff (a few years ago).

There are three basic backs that were made by Polaroid to take this film type: 545, 545i and 545 Pro. As for pricing, the 2 7s I bought (7 and 7II) came from online sales, the 7 was I think about 650 or 700 at the time, (2010) and the 7II I got on ebay for 580 (later resold for more), around 2011-2012. This differs from the Type 100s in that it is larger, of course, and each sheet is loaded individually as opposed to an entire pack at once. Up until now, I have had zero experience with the larger format peel-apart film, generally known as Type 50.
