Fuji Instant

[Wayne]

Hah, glad to be of service - yep, it works fine in the Mamiya polaroid back. I noticed someone asked for some examples in that other thread, so here are a couple of completely random ones; these were taken with the RB67 on FP100C-Silk, in Iceland last summer (forgive the dirt on the second one - shows it's real .)...

I really like the look of those. Thanks! Feel free to post more...It'll be 48 hours before I can do my own, and I can hardly wait.

Okay, lets say I wanted to use the 4x5 FP100C in my Crown Graphic. What would I need?

Jason - I've not tried it, but as far as I know you need a Fuji PA-45 holder, and that's it. (Well, and the film of course .) I'm adding a PA-45 to my shopping list...

I don't want to flood the group with my holiday snaps - so here's just the one more from the same trip. Not exactly high art (hey, like I say, they're holiday snaps,) but hopefully this one shows a bit more of the colour palette of FP100C. This is Reykjavik city centre, by the way...

You can also use a Polaroid 500 or 550 holder instead of the PA-45. Two weeks ago they were selling on ebay for < $5. Now, a lot more ;-)

The PA45 4x5 pack holder is very nice.

Here is a 4x5 fp100c shot, and then the same shot with the emulsion lifted off onto some other paper.

Please pardon my crummy scanning, I am impatient with such things.

The PA45 is only $117 new at B&H. Strangley, it's out of stock, and backordered. Wonder what I can get for my 545?

Jason, look for a Polaroid 550 holder. Its the one for 4x5 pack film. Back before the Dreaded Announcement, they were going for a about $50. Lord knows what they are now. Maybe $100, maybe zip squat zilch.

Why in the world would they be worth MORE now?

Because most of us used the type 545 holder, which won't accept pack film. All of a sudden now they are the only holders with a future beyond 1 year, unless Fuji comes out with something. Plus, I don't think there were near as many. Now I'm gonna need one of those or the Fuji.
