Description: This custom back is RARE so get yours now! This 3-D printed back is an opportunity for you to maximize the versatility of your Mamiya Universal Press(ignore that the camera is a Polaroid 600se, you would be buying an instant back for the Universal). This is one of my custom "Lo- Fi" designs for your creative enjoyment. It allows you to shoot Polaroid Originals I-type film, 600 film, and SX-70 film! I designed it so the camera has no clearance issues like some backs. This back allows you to set your camera down flat on a table without removing the back. It is also dialed perfectly into the film plane so you can use your built in rangefinder/ viewfinder to take your pictures. It uses four aaa batteries, so the film doesn’t need an internal battery. This is handy with old film that may have a bad battery, and also the cheap and common I type film. The eject button is just a momentary switch so you just hold it down until the film is ejected and then release the button. This takes some getting used to, but by the 3rd pack I was perfect at it!The film is ejected from the side, so a quarter turn to the left makes it eject up, orienting the frame the way Polaroid shots are iconically oriented! I reinforced the mounting lugs for a perfectly tight fit that is really strong. I printed solid tops and bottoms with fill at 50 percent(much more than the average 20 percent fill that typical 3-d objects are printed). Note: The camera is not included- just the back that attaches to the camera and allows you to shoot instant film. The mechanicals are strong- taken from low miles practically new cameras, and tested fully with film.There is an offset-though the film is centered vertically, horizontally it is a bit closer to the right. This means that if your lens has less coverage, you may notice some vignetting. Lenses like the 127, in my experience, do not have this issue.This, like all other backs that shoot i-1 film(including but not limited to cb-70 backs), gives you a mirror image. That means left is now right in the image. I personally like the effect, but there are some who don't.The back in the photo is just an example- your back may have a small Polaroid logo on it.I am out of red ejection buttons, so yours will be black to match the body.I am out of orange tolex, so the tolex will also be black. For other 600se and Mamiya Universal Press accessories, like ground glass, build plates, 2x3 holders, 4x5 holders, and type m backs, please check out my listings! About me: I am an artist, college professor, creative photographer, and maker. I sell mostly Polaroid cameras, shoot mostly analog, and love to hack things. I am and have always been a huge fan of the DIY movement. I have a blog called Lo-Fi and DIY com(lofianddiy). Note: I put 10 business days handling on my custom camera backs because I make them to order. I often come in at earlier than that time, but sometimes I experience a lot of orders(not complaining!), so I will likely need a lot of that time to get it built and shipped to you. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding! Aaron
