Adding custom image fields and other fields at the same time
Solution 1:
You don't exactly mention it, but it seems that you are dealing with Repeatable Fields.
Two plugins of interest: Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Content Type Manager.
Today, I've seen this article in one of WordPress communities at G+:
Using the WordPress 3.5 Media Uploader within plugins.
This solution was originally published here in a SO Question that has been deleted since. It is rewritten, revised and tested:

Solution 2:
For Wordpress 3.5 new media uploader will open with this script change script with old one.
<script type="text/javascript">
function add_image(obj) {
var parent=jQuery(obj).parent().parent('div.field_row');
var inputField = jQuery(parent).find("input.meta_image_url");
var fileFrame = wp.media.frames.file_frame = wp.media({
multiple: false
});
fileFrame.on('select', function() {
var url = fileFrame.state().get('selection').first().toJSON();
inputField.val(url.url);
jQuery(parent)
.find("div.image_wrap")
.html('<img src="'+url.url+'" height="48" width="48" />');
});
fileFrame.open();
//});
};
function reomove_field(obj) {
var parent=jQuery(obj).parent().parent();
//console.log(parent)
parent.remove();
}
function add_field_row() {
var row = jQuery('#master-row').html();
jQuery(row).appendTo('#field_wrap');
}
</script>
Solution 3:
I used @brasofilo's answer above, however I really missed having the image ID saved as well, so I could use wp_get_attachment_image
for example.
So here's my revised code, which also saves the image ID. I also use two arrays to define on which page templates and respectively on which post types the meta box appears. Here's the code:
<?php
