Some customers have reported light leaks coming from the dark slide slot in some Polaroid Backs I made in 2023/early 2024. All backs made since are already incorporating the fix below as a precaution.
Luckily, they are fully fixable, but they do require either I/you install a brass strip to seal the dark slide slot better.
Contact me if your back has light leaks, from the dark slide or otherwise (there are other potential sources).
For this particular case, here’s the help video.
Well, I did it. I am now offering a conversion service for your own Polaroid Land Packfilm camera, any model.
You send me a camera with a working shutter, I convert it and ship it back to you.
Read all about it on the corresponding product page, then contact me and order a conversion service for your beloved packfilm camera which now can shoot new and available instax wide film.
Well, you’d need to buy your own Lomograflok, but the Lomograflok slides in and out so you can use it on this camera as well as on your fancy pants 4×5 camera. Yeah, even a graflex with graflok hooks!
Order away and let’s keep these cameras alive and shooting!
Long story short, I have parts to make 3.

When someone asked me “what’s next” at Polacon NYC almost one year ago, I didn’t think anything else would be on the pipeline.
Lo and behold I’m working on two projects, both very close to a working prototype and then production:
I’m also working on two other little related project, both Instax Wide based:
And no, I’m still not making Instax Square backs for Mamiya RB67, there’s already a very affordable solution out there .
I’ll be shipping all remaining July 2023 Mamiya RB67 Polaroid Backs this week, so I’m now taking orders for Batch 3!
Lead time remains 4 weeks for these. I may ship sooner, but on average expect a 4 week delay till shipping.
Yay, I fixed the little annoying light leak I discovered post beta testing in the RZ67 Polaroid back and I am now resuming shipping, the first two orders are out the door on July 5th!
Also resuming work on the RB67 nextgen backs, shipping order 3 of 7 (first batch) on Wednesday as well, and with a little luck, even 4 of 7.
All remaining first batch orders should ship by end of next week (July 14th).
All orders have to be be pushed back about 1 week beyond the initial 2 week lead time, apologies.
I am fixing a potential light leak on the RZ backs and fixing a wiring issue on the RB backs.
Wait is over.
Visit the Candy Store for the new Mamiya RZ67 Polaroid Back or for the Next Generation Mamiya RB67 Polaroid Back !
I am taking orders for the first batch of these, with a lead time of approximately 2 weeks from order date.
I have finished the prototype. You can see and test this at Polacon NYC this weekend.
Will be taking preorders after Polacon NYC, assuming successful testing!
That’s all folks!
For those waiting for a Polaroid Back for their RZ67, based on available Polaroid hardware, the wait is almost over. I have received the first shipment of laser cut metal lock rings and currently printing the final version of the adapter top. With a bit of luck, I will have a working prototype this weekend, and will bring it to Polacon NYC for a few lucky people to test.
To reiterate, this will have a dark slide, automatic one button eject, and on off button, and will function on 4 AAA (replaceable) batteries
Stay tuned!
