I remember that stuff. Very handy at times.

I had* a Polaroid back for the Hasselblad, primarily for checking lighting/settings in the studio before a shoot but occasionally for creating a quickie negative to print without the hassle of developing a roll. Some trimming required to reduce size to 6x6.

*Still have it and the camera kit, but it's not like they have a mission in 2025.
