Hello fellow polanoiders! I try the last 2 months constantly to buyld an integral back for a 4x5 folding camera. I have destroyed 5 button and 1000 cameras but I cannot find a solution on how to remove and isolate the film receptor. Any ideas??

Thanks to everybody in advance, help me getting my sleep back.

:)

I just finished converting a 9x12 tenax plate camera with a breath-taking zeiss Jenna tessar lens to a type 100 packfilm polaroid monster. The first results are astonishing and after I deal with some light leaks, I will be back with more pola-porn.

My 550 holder is dead. If anyone has a spare 550 or a PA-45 holder for sale or trade, contact me please.

I am setting up a flickr account. If you have time to kill until the shot of the day is revealed, take a look. :)

I have the first victim of krstl marmelade. The orangish parthenon shot, today does not exist ! Just a light orange-cream opaque marmelade!. I keep my shots in a box with silica gel inside, and the specific shot was peeled off ! The most surprising thing is that not only I have impact shots of PX-600FF, I have impact shots of PX-600FF taken in the same day, from the same pack!! (both peeled and unpeeled). By my former-scientific view, this is the proof that the humidity is not the only catalyte of the killer crstl.
Damn silver halide, It is the very first time a regret I quitted my chemistry studies for the fine arts school. It is never too late to go back and finish them, if a position in Enschede is waiting for me.

(No, seriously, after a long career in forums, it is the first time I do not hate my webbo)

Thanks Mike, unfortunately the do not have any 53 film.. I know, ebay's my friend.. :)

I have completely run out of 4x5 Film. If anyone has any stock that he/she wants to give it away (in fair prices) contact me. I die for 53 B&w, but anything (fuji/polaroid pack/sheet) is welcome.
Thank you fellow 'noiders.

I just picked up another polaroid 1000 camera from a trash collector. It was found at the garbage and it survived one week exposed on a stroller under the hard Athenian sun. Every time I buy one of them, I am pretty sure that there is no possibility to be in working/ even fixable condition, but I am always wrong. With care and love, she's back to life!
