    Roll film Polaroid conversion kit
    You are buying one Polaroid roll-film Kit to convert your Polaroid camera to 120 graflock backs!
    Cameras from Polaroid’s early days are wonderful looking, have some great lenses, and have held up remarkably well due to very good build quality. Some of the most popular were the 110, 120, 110, and 110b, sought after for their wonderful lenses. Sadly, though, the film they were designed to use has not been made in decades. There has been a tradition of conversion of these cameras over to pack film, but now that option, too, is very limited.
    This conversion kit that I have developed allows you to convert these classics to accept 2x3 backs and accessories. 120 film backs like the Graflex“23” graphic back and the Mamiya Pro S 120 back, and just about anything that works with the 2x3 Graflock system.
    When the kit is fully installed you can use your existing viewfinder and rangefinder to focus, just like when it was new. It shares the graceful lines of the original camera, and it does not stick out on the sides or bottom.
    Install of this kit is a breeze, and(for you purists and collectors) it does not require ANY damage or permanent modification to the original camera. If you decide later to undo this kit, reversal is as easy as the original install.
    To install, just remove the two hinge pins holding the original back on, lay the
    back
    aside or box
    it
    up for posterity, then pop it together and put the hinge pins back in
    and tighten two zip ties
    ! The front standard is set back the appropriate 9mm with an offset spacer that is put in place. Now you are ready to use your camera!!
    Just pop on and lock in your favorite 120 back(not included). I do sell a graflock ground glass that I make
    and sell
    separately if you don’t have one.
    These backs will likely work with any of the full sized Polaroid roll film cameras(40 series), but I have only tested them on the 110,110a, 110b, 120, and 800. If you want to try it on one of the others just shoot me an email and I will check the dimensions.
    Once you have converted your camera, you can get creative with the build. The addition of some acrylic paint or model paint can make them look even more original!
