What is a "camera back"?
A camera back is a detachable component of a camera that holds the film or digital sensor. It can be replaced or changed to switch between different types of film or sensors, or to access features like different formats or higher resolutions. Camera backs are commonly used in professional photography, especially in medium and large format cameras, allowing for flexibility and customization based on the needs of the shoot.
