6x12 120 Panoramic Back

The Mercury 6x12 120 Panoramic back has been engineered from the ground up to provide a low cost, reliable, easy to use panoramic back for both large format and medium format stereo cameras.

It features a robust design, smooth film transport, a metal darkslide, and a larger-than-standard 117mm wide frame.  This is larger than any of the standard metal backs.  We've found this to be the optimal width for medium format stereo photography, enabling 50mm wide mounted slides, while still providing structural stability.

This back utilizes a rear window to view the numbers on 120 backing paper. This is used to accurately advance the film.

Like all 6x12 backs, you will get six frames per 120 roll (six panoramic images or six stereo pairs).

This is a Graflok 45 back and is thus compatible with most large format cameras from all brands, including all 4x5 Mercury Universal cameras, as well as the Mercury Stereo 12 and M cameras for medium format stereo.

The back includes a standard film memo holder for the box stubs from 120 film, or your own memo system.

This back is $50 off for a very short time as an introductory price.

For a limited time we also have a deluxe "Red" version of this back. It has a larger 120mm opening, is built with extremely strong carbon fibre, nylon base to retain its structural integrity and withstand more abuse. It is also built with upgraded internal mechanisms and techniques. This version represents the most robust, long-lasting, and advanced version that it is possible to make today. It is overkill for 90% of users, but if you know you need it, get is quick. This is a single, limited edition small batch. Visually, it resembles the standard back pictured here, but has red highlights in several places instead of white.
