I just recently bought a holga with the Polaroid attachment from amazon. As far as I know, I set up everything correctly, but for some reason all my pictures are coming out solid green. Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

First question, what film are you using, and under what conditions are you shooting? Holgas are slooww.My first thought is that you are underexposing? My next thought, have you removed the dark slide? It's a flexible piece of plastic with sort of a finger handle that sits in a slot ahead of the film plane. It lets you remove the back without wasting a sheet of film, but if it is in place while you are shooting, no light will reach the film. Welcome to APUG!Quote:

Sorry for the intrustion but JB, I'm been looking for your flickr steam for ever. Thanks.
Does the I.P. FIlmwork with the Holgaroid backs, I thought it was for the Fuji FP films..... I'm no doubt confused as well as dumb.
Thanks
BTW, ask Randy at www.holgamods.com
Guy is the goto on these and is a very cool guy to know in the first place.
Tell him Tom Aellis sent ya and he'll help you out.
Tom
I just e-mailed him. Thanks.
Hmmm, those are the simplest things I can think of. If the darkslide is out, and you have plenty of light ,with the back off, when you point the camera at something bright and look through the shutter from behind and trip it, do you see the dot o light?
JB, just checked that out this morning and it was there.
I'm stumped :(
No word from Randy/holgamods yet?
Best,
Tom
I received an e-mail from him this afternoon. He's going to give me a call about it sometime this week. Hopefully he'll be able to help me out. Thanks so much Tom! :)
