there is no trick to it. the back replaces the film back at the same film plane. there is no optics - so it produces exactly the same size image as a film negative back.

Hello All,

Time for the stupid question of the day.

I have a Mamiya 645AFD, a Polaroid Back and I have Fuji's FP100C polaroid film.

The back appears to be a generic one but connects the the Mamiya 645AFD perfectly and the film fits in perfectly, when I take a picture it only develops on a small square of the actual film, roughly 9cm x 6cm while the film is 14cm x 11cm (excluding the white border). I have taken a look at the back of the Camera and the front of the Polaroid back and the holes are only 9cm x 6cm, yet the film fits perfectly in the back. Am I missing a trick here or can I only produce a Polaroid of 9cm x 6cm with the Mamiya 645AFD, it does not seem right being a decent medium format camera.

Thanks in advance.

A Polaroid back on a 6x4.5 camera gives a 6x4.5, on a 6x6 camera gives a 6x6, on a 6x7 camera gives a 6x7 and so on.  As said above, a Polaroid back on a 35mm camera will produce an image the same size as a 35mm film.... 24mm x 36mm.
