I heard somewhere that there was a single company in Japan that made the
250 backs for all the different brands. That's why the all used that same wooden
loader and the same cartridges. I think they went out of business. They
probably lost a lot of their market because of the modern automated quick
loading and rewinding. The backs are still needed for unattended photography.
At an earlier job our photgraphers used 70mm backs on Hasselblad ELMs.
