  Hi All,
  I’ve recently purchased a Mamiya RB67 with a number of accessories, including a Polaroid back.
  I’ve gotten a couple of packs of Fuji instant film, FP-100c and FP-100b, which according to a website I visited, seems to be usable with this camera back.

  My questions are:
  Does the 100 in 100c & 100b stand for 100 iso?
  Does anyone know of a website which gives idiot-proof instructions or demo on how to load the film? :roll:
  The film is fairly expensive per exposure, so I don’t want to make a **^^!! of too many if possible. :(
  Any help/advice/comments would be appreciated.

  Regards
  Rog

  “b” = B&W
  “c” = Colour

  Thanks for your help guys.
  That site seems just what I need (ie: an idiots guide to polaroids)
  I’ll give it a bash at the weekend when I have a bit of time.
  Provided it works and I get the knack of it, I’d also like to try something I read about called image transfer (I think it’s called), which involves transferring the image to different types of paper (watercolour for example) instead of the photographic paper of the polaroid.
  If I get any interesting results, I’ll post.

  Thanks again for the help.
