    maybe aligning optical paths, like bombsights or something? Or radiation testing? (if the film is fogged, you're dead...). Which would mean there must be some 8x10 backs on some of these items.

    Polaroid probably made some wierd films that respond to radiation for their research.

    Thanks guys for the input. I should probably let this go, but the Devil may get under my skin. I was thinking it may be a starting point to piece together a Pola 8x10 rig over the next year or so.

    I'd just wait for a setup with all the parts you need and in better condition. They are coming up all the time with digital increasingly serving the purpose of Polaroid and with fears that Polaroid will soon disappear. I bought mine here for around $150, and I've picked up two extra 81-05 holders for around $40 each.
