https://www.facebook.com/NYPost/videos/10158416827485206/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.
I had a poloride back for my old Speed Grafix
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.
Really neat. A dying breed.
I posted about a month ago about Mr. Mandes.My son and I met him outside of B&H,very interesting person.If you want him to take your photo ask him what his fee is.He asked $50.00 for my son and I.

Sorry about the double post.
$50 Dollars, Yikes! I need that job...
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.
he is famous in NYC and a fixture at the Photoplus shows at the javits center.
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.
