I accept that, but CDN $3.80 still startles me <grin>.  It may be moot,
however.  I tried testing the Polaroid back after dinner Friday, and I'm
pretty convinced it's not grabbing the metal widget that holds the
sensitized emulsion.  The whole thing seems to slide out when I try to
withdraw the envelope/dark-slide.  I haven't used a Polaroid back before, so
I may be doing something wrong, but the instructions did seeem pretty
straightforward.  So, it's off to the shop at lunchtime, in the hopes of a
quick (and inexpensive) adjustment or repair!

Cheers,
