Compatibility

Each Polaroid camera back is unique and they are designed for individual cameras. To ensure the best fit, make sure you check what model camera the film holders are compatible with.

The film type and size that is used is also very important to the overall functionality of camera backs in general. Most camera backs are compatible with a range of different film types, but it is very important to make sure that the right type of film is used. Using the wrong type of film can cause damage to the film, as well as the camera back .

Dimensions and Material

Dimensions and material will vary depending on the age of the camera; different designs have been released over the years making use of new available materials. Older pieces tend to be made out of more heavy-duty metals which make them heavier.

Some people prefer this as they feel the extra weight keeps the camera steadier, enabling better pictures as well as making them more durable. As time progressed, camera backs began to be made out of lighter materials to minimise the overall weight of the camera, making for a more portable camera for quicker snaps.

More modern film holder camera backs tend to be made out of a lightweight plastic and allow for easy loading of various types of film.
