Hmm, $1800 sounds a bit high. But two lenses and a Pelicase is nice. I guess it works out.

Very cool! That's actually a decent size image unlike 645. I'll have to try it.

Note: don't try to scan a fresh Polaroid, it will stick to the glass. Don't ask me how I know.

Note that the straps have a unique system. They look similar to the Hasselblad ones, but aren't interchangeable. So you have to dish out for an original... Hold off on the tripod until you have tried shooting your favourite subjects without. Tripods slow down the workflow so much, some people end up not using them at all. I shoot both ways. It takes care with such a camera to go handheld, but it can work.

It looks like you made the same mistake I did. If you didn't force anything, nothing is broken. I think the insert is just upside down. Note that the paper faces the camera. The film part needs to face the camera You need to push it down so that the film gets pushed up around the spools, which is how it keeps the film flat.

Hello, carstenw, thank you very much, I will try again! I am so lost here, even with the guide!! What does the S mean on the window btw? oh, also, I tried the insert again, and when i went to shoot, it looked ready, showed the f/ number and so on, but then they went away, so i guess i f'ed up again!? ugh!

i think i screwed these up though, because i took them out, and its blank? i think i thought these were like 35mm negatives, and you would be able to see the images already? damn, i guess they need processing first!The Fujifilm CR56 E6 Control Strip, i think i ruined them by looking at them! its black on one side, and brown/reddish, on the other?
