Shooting 35mm film inside Polaroid cameras! - Forbidden formats in the SX-70, Go, Spectra, & I-Zone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- Polaroid cameras were designed to shoot Polaroid film, of course, but with the right blend of lunacy, patience and trickery, you can shoot 35mm, 120, or 4x5 in any Polaroid camera! In this episode we show you how, and do so with the full lineage of Polaroid cameras: Go, SX-70, Spectra, Captiva, and even I-Zone!
Special thanks to the homies that joined the mission! They are: Abel (@instantflamingo), Nick (@nickcollingwoodvintage), Steph (@hallacreative), and Dan (@ifeellikedan).

I remember my brother having one... I wonder if it's still around 🤔
I just got one was thinking of doing this glad it works !
This is what the photography world needs more of
This is what the photography world needs more of. As always, genius! Loved it.
Thank you User-sb4ev1jf8g, which I assume is your legal name! Appreciate the kind words ♥️
This is probably the most insane experiment I've ever seen in this channel. My mind couldn't wrap around the idea that the cameras aren't "instant" anymore and only one shot per cartridge lolol
It’s so chaotic, it felt borderline menacing to even try this.
A "team of heroes" indeed! Nicely done, everyone.
Not all heros wear capes, they just wear Polaroid lab coats. Amazing video as always!
The ultimate cape was the friends we made along the way 😍
Nice! I would love to know more about how you hacked 35mm film to use the Izone 🤩
Love to see the tune squad together! And Dan playing the role of the audience with the nods, the swagger and the sheesh
YES SIRRRRR
So nice to see the Go getting some recognition, it's seriously underrated c:
And nice to see the i-zones finally getting some use, too 😂
Agreed! The baby doinkers of this world deserve a shoutout 🤘
Man I love this stuff. Pushing the envelope and finding new processes and gems along the way.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
What a crazy crew! haha! awesome experiment
Nice experiment guys! I did the similiar thing couple months ago but instead I use fuji instax film in my Nikon FM2 and you could get 4 frames of reversal film from it!
Great work guys!
This is awesome! You are always pumping out such high quality and creative videos! Love it!
Thanks so much TF ♥️
Great experiments. Really enjoyed this. I must try it.
absolute golden content as usual, I think I loving it and I'm in love with it !
so glad I found this channel. you guys do what I could only dream of
I am so jealous! You guy are having such a fun! Ummm spectra can be saved ! I might try it with 4x5 as well! I guess it need to expose + side slightly?
As always, genius! Loved it
I’ve always wanted to do something like this! So rad! Loved the 4 x 5!

You saved a bunch of defunct Polaroid cameras - yay! Neat idea!
This was fun and yes, would like to see those clowns again...
That is totally amazing!!! I was a big Spectra fan!!!
Youz guyz is Rock Stars!!
THIS IS SICCKKKKK MORE PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH THIS
Also really loving the energy and friendship here, made the video enjoyable and more HYPE when the results came out, ESPECIALLY IZONE!
I love these little rascals!
Great idea and wonderful to see an image coming out from an I-Zone and a Captiva.
Now the I-Zone and Captiva zombies are lurking in the night 👀
love this!! I've shot darkroom paper in an sx70 and was thinking of trying sheet film. now that I've seen this, I gotta get my spectra out for that!
Bust it out! No time like the present to defy the laws of nature and get up to no good
I am going to buy some 4x5 sheet film and give it a try. I still have my old 4x5 Kodak hard rubber tanks and film hangers for processing B&W, but a local lab in my town still processes 4x5 B&W and E-6 chrome film.
@@mistermac56 you're going places, richard! ne, I just got that instant box camera kit so I'll be focusing on that for a while~
This was so rad man! Never would've thought to even consider doing something like this but it looks really fun, and the results from the SX70 are wild! (Mine may or may not be awol sigh)
Also I would like to see those clowns again! The banter was great ahah!
Bill has the final vote, these clowns WILL return! And man yeah this is an absolute ride working with 35, 4x5, and even paper positives/negatives in the SX-70. We gotta get you kitted up with a new one!
Loved this! Little bit o tech little bit o humor and some experements among film friends!
Great work
The perfect day, just a bonus it’s on video!
This is so great :)
Can you all do a step by step tutorial on how to work it with the izone ?
bloody love this channel
Bloody love you and I’m bloody in love with you
I haven’t seen an izone camera since the 90”s . This is such a fun video
Thanks so much for checking it out!
really cool stuff !
Oh good, I don't have to sell my Spectra when I run out of film! ^__^
I’ve been eyeing an iZone and I guess now is the time to hit buy!
excellent corner cutting technique 😌
😂 thank you again for your grace and amazing passion in that tintype episode! That’s one of my true favs, what an unbelievable experience
This is extremely cool!!!
4:23 “You walk out the door, you see someone you know and they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you’re fine, when you’re not really fine. But you just can’t get into it because they would never understand…”
☠️
Ok, that was way cool !!
fantastic vid.
another banger from Keith Haring
Mad lads! ❤❤❤
Looks hella fun.
woow thats new i like it
So spectra pano, sick
this is so silly and i love it
Well done, peeps!
These results are stunning. If somehow you crew of heroes could make this work on the notoriously bad Now+ Gen 2.... That would be amazing.
Awesome! I have a similar idea (but also different) using the actual polaroid negative. Work in progress...
Have dabbled in that myself, def some cool possibilities with a Polaroid neg!
OK, this video has me super intrigued now. Ben, id love to see a video of you shooting Polaroid Go film on the SX-70 etc because the shots you took on 35mm look great. I thought the GO's shots were lacking sharpness due to the plastic lens but now I'm wondering if it's the film itself... also love to see regular film done in the GO but I have no idea how you'd pull that off.
Go in the SX-70 would be wild! I actually recently shot Go in the 8x10 and the results were pretty sharp, check it out on my Insta!
@@InAnInstant I absolutely will!
The avengers of the instant world teamed up 😎🙌🏽
We had to save I-Zone, we were left no choice
Great video, this is such a cool project
And Abel was really fun
We love Abel so dearly, thanks Char!
great video! funny enough, i have been thinking about doing the same thing with 120 fill in a pack cartridge in my 420
For the culture 🎞️
Definitely an interesting project there
I wonder what would happen if you swapped the negative in polaroid integral stock and processed it using the different negative?
Also looking forward to seeing what you can do with those formats i sent your way
If you ever do this again hit me up. I'm willing to design some custom parts for your Patterson containers so that you can load the small strips and process them properly. Also perhaps try 120 film?
Whattt that would be so sick! Thanks so much for the offer
I'm startin' to get real jealous of Nick's long luscious hair now 😂
Brother join the club!
"I kinda want the whole meal!" Lmao great work as always Ben!
Thank you AC!
A truly inspiring video! Now I can't stop thinking about making an adapter to SX-70 that replace film door, allow you to easily load 35mm film and advance the film after each shot. It doesn't sound impossible to make, right? :)
It sounds oddly possible to me!
You could have taped the small strips together before loading them on the spools. I once did this to load two rolls of 120 on a single spool.
This is true…
do you think I could load Polaroid Originals into Fujica GW69?
That was really interesting! How did you manage the exposure, for example with the SX-70 and 4x5 film? I'd love to try that sometime!
Good question! We were using HP5 in 600 modded cameras and developing with diafine which lightly pushes HP5 to 640. So really the best combo ♥️
@@InAnInstant Thank you for the reply :)
Definitely not a team of clowns but instead the Polaroid Avengers 🤠
The Clown Avengers seems like a great spinoff
I've been able to shoot 4x5 with the Minolta Instant Pro based on this video, but outdoor test shots in the sun have horrible light leaking. Any ideas how to prevent?
I know it’s for fun… but you guys are crazy… it’s insane…
😈😈😈
Shooting 4x5 on my spectra SOON
DO ITTTT
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
I wonder if its possible to shoot 35mm film on an instax camera? but maybe it would be more difficult since it has a different mechanism to push the plastic cover from the film cartridge
Absolutely! It would work just as well
@@InAnInstant Do you have any idea on how I could go about it? I was thinking maybe I'd have to tape a piece of 35mm film on the Instax film itself since it doesn't have the same mechanism as the Polaroid go where I would only have to cut a corner piece of it
Honestly I think doing 120 in an SX-70 is a smarter choice. You get a 6x8 image and don't have to cut it as much as the 4x5 frame.
That was certainly considered, but the sprocket look was part of the aesthetic we were going for on those! And getting full 4x5 coverage was too dope to pass up
What does it look like when the film is coming out of the camera?
The film never ejects, in the darkbag it would still look like film taped to a darkslide before it enters the chemical baths and transforms into a developed negative
4x5 in spectra how do i do it?
One cut and insert it just as shown in the vid!
one can imagine a world where you would actually have commercial film cartridges for this purpose.. at the end its just a packaging thing..
Very much so. This has me thinking a ton about a mobile sheet film rig that uses an SX-70 sonar and some sort of dark bag deposit for film ejection.
@@InAnInstant yeah, just make the film eject into a dark bag/box.. shoot 8 sheets of 4x5 with an sx-70 or spectra and develop it as you would.. extra points If you can make the cartridge reusable and easy to fill:)
i‘ll probably play around with that idea 😄
I'm just wondering if anybody has converted an SX70 to accept standard 4x5 holders? If not, would it be possible?
With some solid engineering I think the film door could be replaced with a dark bag that accepts shot sheets (similar to the old Graflex bag systems). Wouldn't be easy, and might lead to negative scratching as it passes through the rollers (which perhaps could also be modified), but it would work!
@@InAnInstant in theory, could I just remove the entire bottom of the camera, and replace it with a slot for film holders?
If the A Team replaced their weapons with Polaroid cameras
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭 I-zone was the best travel instant camera.
And now it can be again thanks to this ONE WEIRD TRICK
So, could you do the opposite? Using a dark bag/room, place a piece of GO or Instax mini film in a 35mm camera. Close it up and take a single picture. Go back to the dark bag and put the instant film pack in a empty pack, put it in a camera and eject it from the instant camera while still in the dark bag to spread the chemicals, remove and watch it develop.
Yes you very well could! Nothing like Go in a Holga 🤩
#camerasandglasses
Name a more iconic duo
Shooting a SX-70 with a SX-70 loaded with 35mm film? You will go straight to analog photography hell *where Edwin Land will dunk you in a vat of caustic peel-apart film developer paste!* Cool idea though.
DUNK ME FILM DADDY!!
The Dark Arts are strictly forbidden and I am reporting it immediately!
I'm not sure how, but I know we'll be punished for this at some juncture of our lives
FIRST!
SECOND!
This is why we do it 🎯
@@InAnInstant Great video too. Love the 4x5 shots! RIP Spectra 😭
Just slap a roll of 135 in a Pentax 67! So much easier
“Easier” isn’t exactly what we were going for here 😂
@@InAnInstant I could tell...
Youve gone TOO FAR this time, TOO FAR!
...
That said, i guess you could prepare a bunch of sx-70 carts with 4x5 ahead of time and swap them like film holders (in a dark bag, i guess)
Yes we could and I most certainly will be doing that 🤘😳
THEY SAVED I-ZONE !! Dear comment reader: How many i-zones have YOU waded through in online search results while looking for 'cheap polaroid deals' online? Fear no more. Now the I-ZONE is a worthy, valid purchase! 😂
Restored to its former glory, and perhaps excelling to new heights, the I-Zone is BACK baby #WeSavedIzone
You are my photography super-heroes. 🦸♂🦸♂🦸♂Thank you for bringing such joy to me this day. I can only imagine he hassle of getting those little snippets of 35mm film in the developing tank.
I'm just waiting for someone to build some reel or film that lets you shoot multiple photos on different film sheets while holding the film perfectly flat. Maybe @mattbechberger3298 (Reveni Labs) could design and 3D print something?
