In Reply to: 35mm SLR interchangeble back ? posted by charlie on May 31, 2001 at 23:32:29:
: Hi..Have any manufacturers ever made an 35MM SLR with an interchangeable film back, similar to a Medium Format camera, allowing film to be changed on the fly? This would seem to be a very desireable feature, but I have never heard of it being commercially available. If something along these lines is available how much would it cost (ballpark)?
: Thanks....

In years gone by ZEISS CONTAFLEX and ZEISS CONTAREX both had interchangeable
backs available.These cameras were available in the 50s and 60s. Interesting idea
but as someone else mentioned , it's cheaper to buy another body.
