Just wow! Specially the second shot, is just mind-blowing. Perfect shot, I don't know exactly why, but reminds me a lot of the portrait of Madame X, of John Singer Sargent. Maybe is because the shot haves a pictorial feel. Amazing work.
Totally understand! I think as with most large format things, a little extra time and attention to detail (and not panicking if things go wrong like when I didn't get the tab engaged correctly the first time) go a long way. I don't think I managed to fit it in the video properly, but I actually found a dark closet and set the film right in the carrier before I got it to develop. Much easier the 2nd and 3rd tries. Good luck, and I am sure you'll do well!
Yeah! I am sure the black and white should appear at some point in the next couple of months, and then I hope they have another round of color right after that.
Awesome stuff..one day I want to have a system like this..just curious what lens do you have?..I was researching a lens between 270-350mm to start with..
I am kind of surprised there's not some kind of more viable alternative because it truly is just two heavy rollers with a motor or hand crank. Even with the tiny market it, it seems like someone could cook up something. And since it costs the same as a typical box of 8x10 film now, it's somehow more accessible. I have a 300mm Fuji lens, but also have a 240 Sinar/Rodenstock lens. The 240 covers and has faster shutter speeds, so it's a nice and relatively cheaper alternative. The 300 is amazing, though, and still doesn't cost a ton ($500-ish I think). And thank you!
@@JamieMPhoto Yeah right..even an update "processor/printer" would be good..im just worried that later down the line I hope their are still some that are in good working condition..I just like this setup bc it gives you a chance to feel the process and history of photography in a more convenient "Polaroid" way lol
You're welcome! Not discontinued, but they make it by hand in very small batches, so it's really hard to find. I got mine when I checked the website on a hunch and got lucky. The email alerts didn't work then. Every time since, the email alerts have worked, but it's been gone within 1-12 hours. I need to look to see when it will go back into production, but I highly recommend using the email alert and checking periodically to see if they make changes to the site. Every time something is altered, there's usually some kind of restock on the horizon within a month. I hope there's another soon, for sure!
Great results mate, I just made this RUclips channel on a whim yesterday thinking I might put some of the full version tracks from the Lucy Lumen channel up but don’t know how long it will be till I actually get around to it.
Thank you!! I've been hanging onto some FP myself for the same reason! I finally shot all but one sheet of my 4x5 FP after botching the first two frames a year or two earlier. Now I have a normal size pack and 2 potential Polaroid packs to use before it completely dries out. I say it's better to maybe miss a few or even completely ruin a few if you get a few shots vs. letting all of them go to waste from drying or letting the colors shift too hard.
@@JamieMPhoto yes that’s a good point of view! When it was still available I trashed a pack by pulling too hard, it all came out in one go 😿 i should start shooting it!
Ouch! Yeah, I killed the first two shots of my 4x5 pack like that. It had just been so long since I loaded it that I forgot exactly how. That was after not shooting it for several years already ... But when the first one came out, it was totally worth it. The color was even still great!
Oh yeah! I remember seeing that on a Dean Collins video. I definitely prefer digital as a preview medium over Polaroid, but I oddly prefer Polaroid as a final form over digital. Interesting how things evolve!

That is so so so cool, I absolutely loved the reactions of the models!
Thank you! I love being able to be so excited with people in the moment. And thank you for watching!!
To quote Excalibur the movie "the Grail! The Grail!"
Haha, indeed. I’ve been waiting so long to try that film.
Loved it!!!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you!!

That’s a great reference! Thank you for sharing that, and for the kind words!
Wow! Pulling those prints off the processor looks like the anticipation of Christmas morning - Killer images!
Thank you! That's very accurate! Having to wait 5 minutes for it made it even better.
Absolutely beautiful :)
Thank you!!
omg LOVE the reactions. WOW the images are friggin amazing! Also the video cuts are soooo good! dayum! :)
Aw, thank you!! I loved the reactions, too. It’s so fun when everyone can ohh and ahh. :)
Damn you, Jamie!! Now I've got to go buy myself an 8x10 and the rest of the gear to do all of this!!! :) :P Pity they don't do it in 4x5.
Haha, at least it makes the money worth it! I do wish they'd bring back some form of 4x5, too. Or at least supply materials for someone to do that.
I''ll be shooting my first ever tomorrow evening and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervousAF.

"Oh, fudge monkeys...that beautiful!" Lol
I particularly liked that one. Haha
THUMBS UP
Thank you!!
Those were so good. Hopefully they release some in the near future.

that first photo looked incredible
Thank you!
thank you for the video...do you know why i just cant buy this film anymore. is it discontinued ????

Well shoot, if you're not too late, they have color!! www.polaroid.com/en_us/products/color-instant-film-for-8x10
Great results mate, I just made this RUclips channel on a whim yesterday thinking I might put some of the full version tracks from the Lucy Lumen channel up but don’t know how long it will be till I actually get around to it.
That's awesome! And thank you!! I definitely say it's worth the effort as you can get to it.
Wow! So fun! 📸
Thank you!! It was great and I’m excited to use it again.
Ahh those polaroids look SOO good!! I didn't even know 8x10 polaroids were a thing! Well done!
Thank you! It’s a but tricky to get into the gear, but I feel like someone could do something about that with enough demand.
It’s fun watching you experience it for the first time with you! 8x10 is such a treat! :D
Thank you! I’m glad to share it, and it absolutely is! I can’t wait to shoot more.
Wow!!!
Thank you! The film is phenomenal.
Oh wow they were amazing, well done Jamie. I can’t even bring myself to shoot my last packs of FP100C because I’m scared I’ll mess it up 😅

There is magic to Polaroid, make no mistake. Good job.
Thank you! I need to place an order for some more film, too. Especially now that I can shoot a bit more without it instantly getting too hot. ha.
Car photogs I assisted in the 80's used it all the time and lots of it.
Oh yeah! I remember seeing that on a Dean Collins video. I definitely prefer digital as a preview medium over Polaroid, but I oddly prefer Polaroid as a final form over digital. Interesting how things evolve!
Great Work! The results were a lot better than I expected.
Thank you! Their film has been awesome for the last year at least, so I was hoping it would show well in this, and it has.
I had so much fun sitting for this! 💚
I had so much fun photographing you! Thank you again. You’re amazing!
