120/220/135 Camera Question

[nolafixed]

I'm looking into buying a camera that can shoot 120/220/135 just by changing the backs out. I know the Mamiya 645 series can do this, are there any others? Thanks!

The Mamiya 7 and some Rolleiflexes can use 135 with an adapter. Not quite what you asked for, however. Almost any large format camera can use 120, 220 (including panoramic formats) and 135 by switching the backs - and also use 4x5, 5x7, 8x10 etc.

The discontinued Bronica SQ,SQ-A,SQ-Ai,SQa-M cameras can shoot 120 or 220 film with the right backs and or inserts. I have a few 120 backs and inserts for 12 square exposures per 120 roll, one 6x4.5 cm "tall" back for 120 film, and one 24x36mm format 135 back. I never bought into the whole 220 film thing, but it was an option. There is also a 35mm panoramic back. I think the Bronica GS-1 cameras could also shoot multiple formats.

At the low-cost end, the Yashica 635 twin-lens reflex camera offered 120 rollfilm shooting traditional square-format images, as well the option of shooting 135 film with a separate pressure plate,a 35mm-geared advance system, and a viewfinder mask.

Bronica ETR-series has backs for 120/220/135

Mainly just looking for cameras that can shoot 120/135 by switching out backs, as the Mamiya 645 and Bronica ETR series. Think I'll just end up getting a Mamiya 645 PRO TL.
