What is this? Polaroid film back for 4”X5” camera Type 405.

Do I need to purchase a 4x5 camera in order to use this film?

Is the film holder necessary for all items above?

Which is the cheapest option to go for?

Does cathay has all the above?

Thank you.

yes, basically, you need a 4x5 view camera.

and the 4x5 pola film back (instant film holder)

 

[catchlights]

the 4x5 Polaroid film back (film holder) is universal, can use 4x5 Polaroid film or 4x5 instant film.

and the 4x5 Polaroid film back is use on 4x5 camera, if you don't have 4x5 camera, than see you able find any camera able to accept 4x5 sheet film holder, also able to accept 4x5 Polaroid film back.

m not looking forward to spend a fortune on film. Other forum suggested me to go for Option 1... btw, i dont need to purchase a 4x5 camera. They will supply.

btw is the type 54 better in terms of pricing because it says i dont need a film holder. ... which i assume film holder is pretty expensive?

You need film back to use with the instant film, the film can't use by it self, just like a you need a sheet film holder to load a 4x5 sheet film into it.

btw, option 1, Polaroid film back for 4”X5” camera Type 405 is not using truth 4x5 instant film, the images area is much smaller than 4x5, the film is same those use on instant film back on 120 format camera, so is easier to get, and cheaper.

option 2, the film back is using truth 4x5 instant film, film is almost double the price of option 1 film, and hard to get.

and option 3, I guess they will supply or let you use their film holder, this film holder is actually the quick load film holder, but all the Polaroid instant film able to use on this film hold is already discontinued long ago.
