This Mamiya Universal was probably purchased in 2015. The reason for acquiring this camera was that at the time, I was looking for a Polaroid Automatic 250 Land Camera to play with Polaroid peel-apart film. However, it only had automatic exposure functionality, which couldn't fully satisfy the complete joy of photography. After some research, I found that the Mamiya Universal was truly the perfect match for Polaroid peel-apart film. Not only can it capture full-frame images (unlike other medium format camera backs for Polaroid, such as Hasselblad, which can only partially image), but it also offers different focal lengths for creative use.
這台 Mamiya Universal 應該是在 2015年購入的，會購入這台相機的原因，是當時找了一台 Polaroid Automatic 250 Land Camera 玩拍立得撕拉片，但是它只有自動曝光的功能，無法滿足完整的攝影樂趣。研究了一陣子，發現 Mamiya Universal 才真得是拍立得撕拉片的絕配，不但可拍攝完整片幅 (其他中型相機的拍立得機背，如哈蘇，只能部分成像)，還能有不同鏡頭焦段可供創作運用。
Mamiya Universal
- Mamiya Sekor P 75mm f5.6 - for Polaroid peel-apart film (Equivalent to 28mm for 135 film)
- Mamiya Sekor P 127mm f4.7 - for Polaroid peel-apart film (Equivalent to 45mm for 135 film)
- Mamiya Sekor 100mm f3.5 - for 6x9 120 film (Equivalent to 35mm for 135 film); there will be vignetting when shooting with Polaroid film
- Mamiya Sekor P 75mm f5.6 - Polaroid 斯拉片用 (135底片等效焦距，約28mm)
- Mamiya Sekor P 127mm f4.7 - Polaroid 斯拉片用 (135底片等效焦距，約45mm)
- Mamiya Sekor 100mm f3.5 - 6x9 120底片用 (135底片等效焦距，約35mm)，拍攝拍立得底片時會有暗角

The Mamiya Universal has a dedicated back for Polaroid peel-apart film, and Fujifilm's peel-apart film can also be used. Unfortunately, it was discontinued several years ago (in 2016). Currently, there are only limited productions of single-sheet "Polaroid-like" peel-apart films by enthusiasts in Europe, costing about 10 euros per sheet. Another method is to use Fujifilm Instax Wide camera back parts, combined with 3D printing technology, to create a dedicated Instax Wide camera back for Mamiya Universal. The one I have was purchased through a proxy from across the strait (mainland China).
Mamiya Universal 有 Polaroid 撕拉片的專用機背，Fujifilm 的撕拉片也可以用。無奈多年前(2016)已陸續經停產，目前歐洲有拍立得攝影同好正在少量生產單張 "類" Polaroid 撕拉片，1張大約10歐元。另一個方式，是透過將Fujifilm Instax Wide的相機過片零件，結合3D列印的技術，製作 Mamiya Universal 專屬的 Instax Wide 拍立得機背，我手邊的這一個便是請代購業者從海峽對岸購入的。

The location where the photography equipment was tested today is the Taipei Astronomical Museum of National Taiwan University, referring to the introduction on the internet:
"If you pass by Sinhai Road in Taipei near the National Taiwan University Sports Center and look towards the old male dormitory No. 13 near the Drunken Moon Lake, you can see that the former dormitory buildings have been converted into a building with a special design. In the middle of this cubic building, with the changing light, a circular shadow sometimes appears (see the right picture). This is the "National Taiwan University Astronomical Museum," designed by the architect Yao Renxi, full of poetic sentiment, yet containing the philosophical spirit of cosmology and Chinese culture.
The National Taiwan University Astronomical Museum was donated and built by Mr. Liang Cizhen, vice chairman of Quanta Computer. He graduated from the Department of Physics at National Taiwan University and was very interested in the vastness of the universe and astronomy while in school. Although he later engaged in computer and information technology, he still established the "Liang Cizhen Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics" in 2007 with donations. In 2012, he donated again to build the "Cizhen Universe Museum," allowing the research center to have a good place for sustainable operation.

今天測試的攝影器材的地方是-台灣大學次震宇宙館，參考網路上的介紹:
若在台北辛亥路過台大體育館，靠近台大醉月湖的校園圍牆邊往舊日的男生第十三宿舍望去，可見到昔日的宿舍樓房已改建成一座特殊造型的建築。此座立方體建築的中間，會隨著光線的變化，時而出現一個圓形陰影（見右圖），這是名建築師姚仁喜率領的大元建築工場所設計的「台大次震宇宙館」，充滿詩情畫意，卻又蘊含宇宙科學及中華文化天圓地方的哲學精神。
次震宇宙館為廣達電腦副董事長梁次震先生所捐建，他畢業於台大物理系，在校時即對宇宙、天文的浩瀚無窮極有興趣，後來雖從事電腦、資訊業，仍於二○○七年捐資成立「梁次震宇宙學與粒子天文物理學研究中心」；二○一二年再度捐建「次震宇宙館」，讓研究中心得以有良好場所，永續運作。
