Sorry Skorj, no polaroid on this one. It uses the smaller backs (2¼x3¼ as said on the front label...)
It's like the Baby Graflex back (the back looks like a Graflock).
Getting film for the sucker could prove problematic... but the wide angle would be sublime.
I know there are some bigger woody 4x5's (like the Hobo) that would take Polaroid backs.

Burke & James cameras are bulletproof. If you can find backs for it, it would be a good buy.
