ken.vs.ryu, nice (I think ) the bottom right on looks cool.

A rod, that first one looks quite interesting, I'd love to see a clearer version

Jeremy, exposure looks pretty good to me. I do find that the automatic land camera tend to underexpose quite a bit, I usually have mine on +1 or even +2.

I'm going through my archives (all from the past year or so), I'll try to only post the good stuff...

These are with the RZ67, 110mm and FP3000b



Thank you very much! These were my first foray's utilizing this kind of film, and well, film in general, thus it's outcome! These were indoors, handheld, and well, sadly, natural lights! I have yet to use flash, as my Metz flashgun CT-60's need batteries, and I have no other means of light, except well, nature! These were shot with my Rollei 6008 Pro, and the Rollei 80mm f/2.8 HFT PQS lens, at f/2.8!!

Some really killer images in this thread. This is awesome timing, too, as I'm just now getting into my first Instant camera in quite some time.

I originally bought a Polaroid Land 420 and converted it to accept AAA batteries. Unfortunately as you'll see in some of my images, I had an issue with the rollers (there was some internal rust as well). I then purchased a Land 440 and modified it for AAA batteries and it's working rather flawlessly and is a real joy to shoot. I've since spent a very small fortune stocking up on Fuji 100C and 3000B.

Here are a few images with annotations as to which camera/film shot which:


Jack, a Goat, and a Bear
Polaroid Land 440 + Fuji FP-100C


Jenna, My Love
Polaroid Land 440 + Fuji FP-3000B


Who Would Throw This Away?
Polaroid Land 420 + Fuji FP-100C (You can see the roller issues in this print.)


Guard Dog
Polaroid Land 440 + Fuji FP-100C

zalmyb, I'm jealous of your RZ67...I didn't realize they had a polaroid back for those...now you've piqued my curiosity... You're getting some great looking shots out of that 3000b -- Love shots 2 and 3 (and your photo hanging display behind the kids is awesome too). And you're right, the shots I posted here weren't too bad (nice light), but some of my other shots are really dark. And yeah, my Land is usually at +1.5; these were at +2 I think.

a.Rod, your first shots look great! The black and white looks great! I love the depth. Looks like a scene from Phantom of the Opera. And I think I'm even more jealous of your Rollei!

Matthew, I'm always split on whether or not I like the little "defects" the rollers can give photos. Sometimes it makes a cool effect like in your couch photo, but other times, it ruins a nice shot. I really like your first shot (Jack, a Goat, and a Bear) and that shot of Jenna really jumps off the screen. She really pops from the background.

This is probably my favorite shot on Fuji 3000b - My mom and step-father a few months before he passed away

And here's a shot with the print and the negative scanned for comparison.

I'm sorry about your father in law, and that is a great image. The negative gives a very different look from the positive, though it looks like yours is solarized a bit (the darkest areas are white) it happens when you pull too soon.

Yeah, the RZ is a pretty hot camera system, though I haven't been using to too much lately.

this one was way overexposed, but the negative came out okay.

Definitely DO NOT freeze..... fridge at 58 or below. I put mine in a wine fridge at 55 deg with humidity control. Works great.

125mm f/2.... 4x5... Post a pic of that lens.

Fp100c is great, better than anything polaroid made in the peel apart series films. Will try to post some soon. I have bleached many fp100c negs, it is trivially easy, but they lack an orange mask for enlarging so filtration is a bit weird.

Just shot a few fp100c45 today, sitting on about a dozen boxes of it so need to use it before it dries up.

the 112.5 doesn't really cover 4x5, it barely covers the full instant film. I'll try to get a photo of it one of these days (it's an impressive beast).

Dude, shoot those fp100c45, Fuji seems to have lost interest in them

I think I have seen that lens, now that you mention it... Someone had one on ebay attached to a speed graphic, I think?

Yeah, it is sad fuji gave up on the fp100c45.

Thanks so much! I much prefer that my images come out smooth. I mean, there's a certain amount of "lomo" you get from the little roller blips and scratches, but I'd rather them not be there.

The 4x5 is a Toyo View with a Fujinon. W 135/5.6. Unfortunately it never gets used. It's my wife's camera and we tried selling it a few times with no luck so it has made its home in the corner of our living room.

I suppose we'll get around to using it one of these days.

Sigh...
I wished that Fujifilm would make the FP-100C45 4x5 Instant film available again.
I was just getting used to it, then they killed it.
Sad...

When you guys shoot these with MF cameras, are you essentially just scanning the print and cropping out the rest of the rectangle?
