    What happened to vacuum backs?

    Interesting Bob....

    Any pictures of this 70mm back?

    What years were they made?

    Any idea where some exist?

    What happened to vacuum backs?

    Bill:

    The more pertinent question is "Where can we get 70mm film today, and will it be available tomorrow?"

    Even expired highschool portrait film is getting spendy, thanks to The Panic.

    (One of my cameras uses sprocketed 70mm. Not Linhof, Hasselblad.)

    What happened to vacuum backs?

    jj, acutally, the film I want to use, Fuji CDUII, is made in 70mm sprocket, but NOT 120/220!

    But I get your point, few emulsions are available today in 70mm.

    I have seen the Hassy backs, I wonder if the sprockets keep the film as flat as the Linhof.

    BTW, what format was the Linhof 70mm sprocket back? I know Beattie used to make sprocket 70mm backs also.

    The Linhof was available in the 80's into the mid to late 90's. It shot 6x9cm on 50' of 70mm perf. 150 shots per roll unless thin ester stock was used. Looked just like the 45 version. You may still be able to see a picture of it on the Linhof web site. It is also illustrated in the 1994 Linhof Product Listing.
