Unless things have changed since the 6x7, the NPC Polaroid back is best when a body is dedicated to it. Everything I have heard about it is that it is virtually a non interchangable back. The 6x7 back isn't held on by sprung pins like on 35mm cameras, but is more like a small piano hinge so removing it isn't really easy. Mafud has the 67II, he could tell us if the back is easily removed or not. I am thinking that an old model 6x7 dedicated to an NPC back, and a shiny new 67II would be the start of a really nice kit.
