Oh and by the way, aside from the matter of the problem with the camera, I like your shots VERY much; this one looks almost like the pictures of the country lanes that the suburban roads in my area used to be (as illustrated in local history books); apart from the modern looking metal barrier on the right, this could almost have been taken 100 or more years ago! 665 is wonderful film, very sadly missed, and your efforts are fine, no improvement necessary unless you yourself feel that you are not meeting standards that you set for yourself. Ben.

^ it's that I still feel like I've to learn how to use the full potential of instant films, and I want to experiment as much possible the various options, until polaroid films last, to find the kind of expression that satisfy me the most. The thing I love the most in instant photography is its analogic imprecisions, and the possibility of working instananeously on the films in a thousand ways with your bare hands. It's a wonderful medium to me. And I'm grateful to you for your appreciation and good advices....the place in this pic is the country that sorrounds my hometown, an old medieval town on the edge of an hill...and in Spring the landscape is wonderful.

Yes, I am fairly sure this is a bellows problem - if you can salvage a set of bellows from another pack film camera and find someone to fit them for you, you may be ok. Otherwise, you may have to scrap the whole camera and find another one on ebay.

^ .....mmmm. I hope not to scrap my poor 350....I like this camera, but, at least, it's quite common to find on ebay and not expensive :-) thanks again
