the 250 film back can't be used with regular film
cartridges but with special made ones that you load
yourself. It can be loaded with up to 250 shots. It's
a sports and fast action back to be used with the MD-1
which can take 5 fps and can go through a roll of 36
really quickly on continuous. If you do a lot of
sports photgraphy or fast action photography it would
be worth your while to get one otherwise I really
wouldn't bother. They are quite rare though and are
expensive but I don't know the price point.
