@@sneeuwwolf1176 I mean yeah, you could Caffenol process but it only works with B&W film but not C41 E-6 or ECN-2 because it will not render colors correctly and the Caffenol process is not as good. If you want a more affordable option, I suggest just switching to shooting 35mm and trying to look for the cheaper film stock.
Hello There! I have a polaroid 600 and i dont have any film for that and its film i very expensive so i was looking for a cheap way to take picture from it...Can you help me with that
Maybe using instax wide film instead. Using photographic paper will be very impractical. You need a changing bag and a way to keep the shutter open for a longer time. I did a land camera conversion to photopaper. It worked.
I’m new to film photography. Can you please share the exact name of the photographic paper you use? Also do you still need to develop the photographic paper after you took a shot with the camera, or do you directly have the photo?
Sure ILFORD MULTIGRADE RC DELUXE. You also can use Fibre based (FB instead of RC) but it is less easy to develop in my opinion. Or I don´t like it as much. You can cut RC paper, stick it, write on it, very very versatile. But be sure to keep it away from any light. Either open box in dark room or in pitch dark. Even the smallest amount of light can spoil the whole lot. One of my other video´s will tell you how to make a darkroom and what type of safelight (red bicycle light) to use. Have fun!:-)
@@sneeuwwolf1176 so if i buy the photograph paper you mentioned. In a dark room i cut the paper and place it in the camera. I then shoot a picture with the camera. Can i then just take the photographic paper out in daylight? Or do i need to take the photographic paper out in a dark room and develop it with chemicals?
@@youtubeaccount7354 yes ofcourse you need to develop the paper after taking the pictures. I have a video on how to make caffenol developer. Darkroom: put photograph in 1 bath with caffenol or regular developer, then in a rinsing bath then a bath with fixer in it. Then rinse/wash the picture to get the residue off. After fixer they are ready for sunlight. All baths should be at 20 degree celcius. How long to develop depends on the developer used and some other viariables. But just give it a try and experiment a bit.
@@youtubeaccount7354 better use bulb mode on the camera. Analog camera´s all have the bulb mode. You need at least a second or maybe more depending on the lighting.
Hey thanks a lot for this. I couldnt find thr video where you develop it, and if I dont want to develop this on my own can a photography shop develop it for me? Thanks!
It's called 'Developing pictures' paper negatives development with caffenol. I also got a video on how to mix caffenol with household poducts. A photography shop won't be able to develop them unfortunately or it must be a specialized shop. Don't worry caffenol development is super easy and fun. Click my wolf icon/avatar and then click 'video's' there you will find my other videos.
Yea think you just can load an empty instax cardridge in the dark and put it in your camera. But I think you will need a very long exposure time. Can you shoot bulb mode in your instax? But you can´t roll it out. It will be shoot load shoot load etc Come to think of it. I think you can disable the rolling movement.
Hey, have you made a video for showing the results as you said, i couldn't find it in your videos. Can you please make one, or tell which it is, if u have already made...
@@AderinsolaOla-James I don't think so. I mean if you cut them to size and place a piece of paper in shot after shot, yes obviously. But as a paper roll I don't see how it can work. I mean 120 rolls use a plastic winding core that is reusable but Aps is not reusable I think? And the Aps camera can't handle slow shutterspeeds and bulb mode I presume? You need a way to control the shutterspeed. 120 camera's are cheap 9-15 euros. So I suggest going that route.
Some comments, on the video and on the previous comments: - of course it has to be done in a dark room with a red light - with Ilford RC 4 you will have a negative picture - if you want a positive picture you have to use a direct positive paper (Ilford do it too) - it's a common practice with large format - it's still expensive for middle format - yes you can find and develop easily 120 films - but what about other old formats like 101, 118, 130, etc ? - even with 120, 220, 116, 616 formats it worth a try, because direct positive paper and films have a very different result - can be tricky in some cameras due to the thickness of the paper
I converted a land camera to shoot photographic paper. So should be doable. I need to look into the polaroid j66 to know for sure. My land camera I only needed to tape the sensor shut so I could take bulb mode pictures.
Sure sure, be aware that you will need long exposure times. But for sure pinhole will work just fine. Camera takes a few seconds, pinhole takes few minutes depending on how much sunshine you got to play with. You can develop your own pictures easily. Check out ly caffenol c video on how to do it. The fun thing about pinhole camera´s is that you can use any box, be it metal, cardboard or whatever.
AGFA Isolette 1. Very nice & cheap camera. So cheap in fact I have bought 4 of them. Nice lens, good shutters and on top of that they are all in good condition. Even the bellows are light tight.
Well, assuming you used Ilford RC or FB photopaper. You still need to develop the paper in a darkroom. If you click on my channel you will find video's on how to develop the pictures and how to build a darkoom. Of course if you loaded (or unloaded) the camera in sunlight then the paper will be spoiled/ gone.
Uh...for the amount of time and cost you put into cutting, taping, marking, and rolling photo paper, you could buy a roll of Arista and develop it at home...assuming your time is worth half minimum wage. You'd also have the versatility of different types of film, speed, and look. You'd also have negatives, which you could use to make multiple prints.
Well, some people like to tinker with things and enjoy the techniques/ processes. I mean what´s the point of buying film one might ask. Digital costs nothing. Just enjoying analog photography in different ways is fun.
@@paspartupro if you want ´artsy, retro pictures´ and you don´t mind to do your own developing with photopaper. Then I definitely would say go for it. Or you can buy expensive real film and send it off to be developed. But that´s awfully costly. The big plus is that these camera´s are readily availabe for 15 euro/ dollars or less. Best to buy a ´medium´ format with 120 film size. They are much much bigger than 35mm.
With regular light sensitive photopaper yes. With standard normal paper not possible. Search for Ilford RC multigrade photopaper on Amazon or other shop.
So you need to load the photographic paper into the camera in total darkness or under a safelight. Making sure there is absolutely no light entering the darkroom. If you want I suggest cutting a small square piece of paper and put it in the camera. Do this either with dedicated safelight or red led bicycle light. You didn´t get any results??? Maybe you did something wrong processing the pictures or the camera has a malfunction? Can you describe what exactly you did?
I just go and bring a normal photo paper and cut it and I made a square piece of it and then I put it in the camera and clicked a photo and then I checked it but there's no photo I turned it into positive but there's nothing then I put it once more but nothing happened 😞
@@rajendrananda4314 what kind of camera are you using? What type of photographic paper? You need to expose photographic paper for a long time otherwise you won´t have a result. After developing you got a brownish piece of paper or pristine white?
@@rajendrananda4314 try longer exposure and different photo paper and maybe ask a friend to use his camera with your photopaper. This has to work 100% so must be camera, paper or developing problem.
Yes photographic paper. Ilford RC multigrade IV. Real paper won´t work. Unless you use liquid light or a cyanotype emulsion or another form of light sensitive liquid.
Well this method costs a lot less than a dollar for a roll of photographic paper. And 120 film can´t be bought everywhere. Only in specialised shops. And very expensive. Plus it´s fun.
@@squentixyt581 well the pictures are sharp. As good as film? Well they are less fragile and easier to process. Also don´t need specialised equipment.

@@squentixyt581 nono you can´t. You need to load it in a changing bag or a darkroom with a red light. I can´t show this loading proces in the dark room it would be almost not visible on camera.
"You can't develop film at home. " Yes you can, it's cheap, easy and quick. The chemicals are available at any reputable camera shop.
Can use caffenol also. Don´t need to go to camera shop😁

What type of paper i have to use?
Paper 📄
@chances1104 thank you?
Why I didn't think about it before
I know it's paper but which type because it won't work if you put it in camera
I want to do that to the instax camera, the cartridge is differente from this way of rolling directly inside the camera. Any tips?

Easiest thing is to buy an old medium format camera. They cost 15 euro´s.

The photosensitive material is exposed and won’t capture any image
