A Fun….Customized PS 8 X 10 Instant Camera

It’s a rather boxy beasty, lightweight with acceptable image quality.
Just a large Polaroid type One-Step(R).
But mostly used as a fun, point and shoot project experiment. --John Gee—

Notes:

There is some vignette at the image plane, but with some creative in-the-camera masking or when matting, should take care of that, in the not to distant future.
Later, there will be added a unique magnetic tripod mount for stability when needed.

Next Project:

I will once again, be making my handcrafted silver nuclei image receiving sheets (transparencies and paper). This was a long process project…but most revealing.

Take Care All and Good Health.
