Bumped into this guy last Wednesday at Midtown Manhattan just as I was going into B&H Photo to get an Olympus E-M5. I was surprised to see this well dressed gentleman holding a Speed Graphic camera. And he told me he takes Polaroid photos with this camera.

That's how I got started in photography back in the 19 70's, a Speed Graphic with a polaroid back. I truly wish I had never sold that camera.

There was a Polaroid back for 4x5's, hooked into the Grafloc back mount, also a back for 108 and 107 was made, same mount, had the 545 for 4x5, rather expensive to shoot though, bob.

There are also 120 roll film backs for speed graphics from 6x6 to 6x12 pano.
Most versatile medium format in film

I had the RH10, 10 frames on a 120 roll, 6x4.5, nice size negative, I did like 4x5 contacts though, and the transparancies, wow, Bob.
