Can anyone sugest a digital I can buy to preveiw my set up.

Thanks again Ron

Well since Polaroid are no longer making film it would have been useless soon enough anyway. I know Hassleblad make a range of digital cameras but you'd need to mortgage you soul to buy one That said, you can link many digital SLRs to a laptop for live preview/setup shots.

Fuji make polaroids, they aren't going nowhere just yet.

"Bronikon . I use Bronicas and Nikons and my name is RON."

I use Bronicas and Nikons and my name is JOHN.....

If its just for previews, a cheapo Leaf back 6mp would do, wouldn't it.
Actually, you must be using an SQ or something, dont think there is a back for anything older.
Bladd 500's are best choice for digital backs

Polaroid stopped making instant film cameras a year ago, they say they have stock of film to last until 2009 but they are not making any more. They may license another company to make film if there is enough demand.

joxby - what do you know about leaf backs - do they make anything for a mamiya rz67 that is cheap as chips ?
I took a little look at their site a while back and got scared at the £21,000 price tag that I saw for something...

Oh No, - you are not going to tell me I need a 'blad, are you...?

Fuji make their own polaroid film, "polaroid" is just the accepted name for it, when I buy Fuji polaroid film I buy "instant" film, but its the same thing.
Buy far the greatest consumer of instant film is M/F studio shooters, not polaroid camera owners, there wouldn't be such a hooharr otherwise.

....no, I'm sure there is one for the RZ, studio is its main occupation, though there may not be the choice there is for Bladds, there is definately a 500quider fleabay job for Bladds and Bronicas, dunno about the RZ though.
