God, I love it when people find a way of using modern film on older formats. I have a Polaroid Land Camera (can't recall which one) so if I can clean it up it might be worth considering this. Thanks for telling me that the option exists! I still haven't tried it out yet, but I received the Lomo Graflock back recently and am super looking forward to trying it out! I actually have no instant film experience so that would be my first shot but as usual you have convinced me that instant is maybe worth a fun time. Fujifilm may do silly things like discontinue film a lot but I am glad instant stuff makes them enough that they keep on chugging this film out.
i would like to see more videos about printing with photo paper and chimical process in addition to compare it to digital process ... in color rendition and olso detail keeping ... more videos like today's one are sweet to watch 💎
always a grand pleasure to attend one of your wonderful analog tutorials. you comprehensive presentations assume that your viewer requires 'all' the information, which is true. but you do it so naturally and with respect to the viewer. Just added to my analog collection with a 250 land camera for $10... let me see about this Lo-Fo and DIY place. cheers
Ja, I really found the Polaroid film to just become something else with a good old quality lens and manual controls. Alex'a works with all Polaroid instant films, battery or no battery. Check Lo-FI and you may find one for fuji square at least on the 600 SE.
hell yes, i spent all day wondering whether i should just sell the old 150 i found or shell out over 500 bucks to be able to use it with available film. and while the conversions aren't particularly cheap, they're a good chunk cheaper than sending my camera out to be converted
I've read that Kodak and Fuji developed Instant Picture Film together, with very different results. Polaroid sued Kodak out of existence back in the day, but allowed Fuji to keep their version a "Japan/domestic only" product. Theoretically, Fuji Instax is a descendant of Kodak Instant Picture film, so, in a way, Kodak is still standing, while Polaroid "went the way of Oldsmobile and Pontiac." My Polaroid 110A was adapted to use Polaroid 108/669 pack film, which is as extinct as a Brontosaurus. Would I consider adapting it to Fuji Instax Wide? I'm mulling this over, since "the usual Fuji Instax cameras" are not much better than box cameras and can't begin to show off the quality of Fuji Instax film.;)
I have made one of these but with a 110a and i have taken the best instax wide pictures on it , i love it and even use it with flash which is a bit hard as instax is 800 iso ,this type of polaroid are amazing i also have other one that i have converted myself in 4x5 and its pretty cool too, i was going to sell the kit but some other guys did it before mine was perfected so i scrapped the idea
I have a camera that I'd like yo convert, but it's too small for this conversion kit. It's perfect size for an Instax Mini if they make a kit for that!
Curious to see how your back has held up, I bought one of these also but left mine in a car on a pretty mild day and it warped very severely. Luckily the guy who makes these has offered to rebuild it for me but I was wondering if yours has degraded at all? When I did have it working though I absolutely loved it, it works so freaking well. lol
It s the only Polaroid cameras that make real sharp and color difference;rodenstock ysarex was and is superb quality lens and shutter but was big and heavy and whit camera back is like a wall telephone
Well, I can only say that the 2 metal plates are removed and the whole thing is surprisingly light weight. I carried those (one) in my fanny pack for years.
What lenses do you have on them? I spotted the 90mm super angulon. I was wondering if the bed will show with the lomograflok attached to the 4x5 conversion?
Are you able to shoot wide open outside with this set up or are you having to use like an ND filter becuase of the ISO 800 film? Also are you rating it for 800, I've heard some people are rating it for 640. Great video!
@@AnalogResurgence woops! Sorry, I must have missed that part! But yeah, these are amazing. Anything that turns these beautiful antiques into working antiques, is incredible
i have old 101 poliroid. and speed graflex at local Marfa Film Shop. but not yet worked on buy past few years. now may get the back. wide insta. she has several films. even 4x5 infrared would need long extpose. i want to do old time photos at event or brothers shop. but to invest that much of pension budget has detred till the right time to buy and use...
I have a Polaroid 120 that I converted to peel-apart pack film years ago, then the film became unavailable. The Instax Wide back looks good, but my beef with Instax is that it is a "soft" image, not sharp like original Polaroid film. Is the image from the 120 any better than from one of the Fuji cameras (which I sold, the best one they had) because of the really soft fuzzy photos. If not, no point in spending $400 for the Instax back. Where can I see print examples for a close up look?
I have a question. If you had $200 to spend on an instant camera, what would you buy. Could be new or use. Could be Fuji or Polaroid. In the end, what camera would give you the best images for $200 or less?
Even though there aren’t many camera options, Fuji instax wide or square film just has better color quality. The fidelity is just better than what Polaroid offer now. They are both great though
@@asmahism Are you using the Rodenstock lens or the Tominon with a manual shutter or some other real lens? Shot instx for 3 summers with the Polaroid 190. Shot both inxtx and Polaroid film with an 110 A/B also. As Brian says below, awesonme.
Yes, it will work on pretty much any of the type 40 rollfilm polaroid cameras. Just tell me which one so I can make the custom lens stop. The only exception is the 900. I have yet to come up with an elegant/ non-destructive way to do a lens stop for that camera.
I had a 110b. Mailed it to a guy in Chicago in 2012 who claimed to do packfilm conversions. Never heard from him again.
:/

would be amazing to see this film back for a Polaroid 100 / 420 type camera! I wonder if it'd be possible to get a custom conversion...
I just did a similar thing with my Pathfinder! I took apart a Fuji Instax 210 and I'm using that as the film back! This camera is monster.
Wow- thank you for giving some of my gadgets a try, and a big thanks to Tony for getting your channel those amazing gifts!
Great video again. I really should finish the dormant project to convert at 110A I started years ago.

Thank you for the very kind words Bo!
I have Alex's Lo-Fi back for my Polaroid 600 SE ... it works with iType file=m and is awesome ... now I want one for Fuji!!!

got 4 of them with no issues at all.

I'm early hello... I don't know what else to say love you channel big fan of your "Can You Shoot That?" Series of videos
I have some old Polaroid cameras and can't find film for them
Great video! You didn't mention it but I'm assuming because it's a manual wind, you can do multiple exposures with this; which is awesome.
Yup! I mentioned (and breifly showed off) a double-exposure sample, a really fun way to shoot!
@@AnalogResurgence woops! Sorry, I must have missed that part! But yeah, these are amazing. Anything that turns these beautiful antiques into working antiques, is incredible
How did you enlarge them ?
i have old 101 poliroid. and speed graflex at local Marfa Film Shop. but not yet worked on buy past few years. now may get the back. wide insta. she has several films. even 4x5 infrared would need long extpose. i want to do old time photos at event or brothers shop. but to invest that much of pension budget has detred till the right time to buy and use...
Why is it always our favourite things that get discontinued

If anything some may find it too sharp. The lens covers 4x5 and is of high German quality. You can see some examples at instant options website
instant options is now called option8, or something like that
I have a Polaroid 450 I thought if that can be modded
I have a question. If you had $200 to spend on an instant camera, what would you buy. Could be new or use. Could be Fuji or Polaroid. In the end, what camera would give you the best images for $200 or less?

I rather convert them to use 4x5" sheet film (or paper), like the second one shown.
oooh I always wanted to use one these but never got to, I'll keep an eye out and pick one up
Will one these work on a 95?
Yes, it will work on pretty much any of the type 40 rollfilm polaroid cameras. Just tell me which one so I can make the custom lens stop. The only exception is the 900. I have yet to come up with an elegant/ non-destructive way to do a lens stop for that camera.

AYO I HAVE THAT SAME STRAP ON MY CANON T70
Nice! :)
“It’s very Connecticut beach house art” l m a o
landcamera would be a better way to go ...
Wish that price was $100 or $200 less though. Ouch
Does the camera use a battery
no
The auto Polaroid film pack cameras have a 4.5V battery but the 180 and 195 pack cameras are manual with no battery.
