I'm considering purchasing a nice used Zeroimage 4x5 pinhole camera and I'm being given the opportunity from the seller to include (for more $$) a couple of Polaroid backs (545 Pro and the one that takes the 600 series). Been reading that Polaroid has stopped making the 55 type and 600 series and pretty much all their films. Rumor abounds about someone, maybe Fuji, buying the licensing and continuing to make them but it seems far from certain. The price for the backs is ok ($245 for both) but I question whether I'll need them as I plan to shoot mostly Acros or Efke 4x5 sheet film though if there was a chance of the Polaroid films or a reincarnation of them being available would want try/use type 55 for negs and the 600 stuff for the emulsion transfer process. Should I grab the Polaroid backs too or not waste my money?
