thanks in advance

Wow - won brand new boxed Polaroid Propack complete with dedicated flash and instructions. This is the very rare one complete with half-tone screen and selector switch,extract from the landlist site:-
Some ProPack cameras have a special exposure compensation switch for use in conjunction with Polaroid's optional halftone screen kit. This switch thus eliminates the need to use the meter 'masks' included in the kit. It appears that when Polaroid added this switch to the front panel of the camera, they eliminated the Flashcube diffuser. [This isn't much of a loss, since that little plastic diffuser 'flag' was almost useless anyway in my opinion.] By the way, the halftone kit should work with all Polaroid pack cameras, even though it was specifically marketed for use with the ProPack.
All for £28 - bloody bargain, Happy Valley Sunday :)))))

I am off to pick up my Graflex 4x5. Monitoring Polaroid 545 backs on Ebay....... it is only a matter of time.

The family is growing!
Let me introduce you my two new friends:
_My first polaroïd, the 636 Close up (thank you mom)
_The sx 70 model 2, the white beauty! (thank you ebay)

By the way you have 3 hours left to buy that original 185 on ebay, it is currently at a reasonable $860....... well we can all dream eh?

Wow trying to get a Polaroid #1952 Porttrait Kit on Ebay today, it went for $160!!!!!!! Wow. I wish I were a rich man, then I would bid on that Portrait Kit and the Polaroid 185 that is on Ebay and the Polaroid 185 2000 Japan model and a 190 and the Polaroid 600se and the 3 different lenses and all the 110b and a Graflex 4x5 with Pola back and...................................

for the crazy collector or the people 'round here just interested in some info - a rare find: the official "re-edition" of the mighty polaroid 185 ("re-edition", as this itself is a rebranded NPC 195, and the original 185 has a built in coupled exposure meter, which makes it so mighty) from polaroid japan:

afaik, only 2000 were made in 2000, it has a 114mm tominon in copal shutter and originally came with 5 doublepacks of sepia (!) 200ASA packfilm (which eventually was a limited edition itself, I am not sure, maybe just in the beginning) - original price was about 160000 yen.

(I don't know the seller - so if you're tempted, pls. be careful! it's a bunch of money. I'd personally would recommend to watch out for a fourdesigns converted 110a, as Antoine would recommend the Konica Instant Press - however, both are cheaper to get. as is a NPC 195. but...this was the last polaroid branded manual camera...just wanted to share that tiny bit of info.

Ok, following the BMM fiasco I was still on the hunt for a good 600 film supplier. Happily I found this guy:

He sells 2x10 packs individually on Ebay, but I'd recommend contacting him directly if you want more - you'll get a good deal. I paid 26.55 UKP for 4x10 packs, delivered from Hong Kong in a week. Not bad...

Wooohoooooooo! I just managed to purloin a Polaroid 110b from Ebay for £70. It includes 2 rolls of sealed Type 40 film. I will probably sell those on as I intend to convert this camera so that it has a 4x5 Graflex back!!!! I have the Razzles 'Bi-Polaroid Disorder' CD plus another chaps instructions, all I need is a Dremel...... What could possibly go wrong???
