By the time I uploaded this, Lo-Fi & DIY released the Instax Wide version! Check it out here: www.ebay.com/itm/135107048641?itmmeta=01J12SWDFWXCG3S08HCWGKA2ZB&hash=item1f7501f4c1:g:K-oAAOSw4hlmbySj
Thanks for your review of my weird little invention! I just rolled out the EXO IW(the one for instax wide), and updated the design to apply to all 34 professional and automatic versions(that all look pretty much the same), and I made the exo simpler and easier to install, as well as fully capable of supporting those accessories you mentioned!
Every time I hear pack film I get so sad. The fact Fuji rather destroy the machines than sell them to Polaroid/Impossible just seems so vindictive to me still
Great video. I had a Polaroid 195 previously, excellent, that I used for lighting checks before digital. I'm surprised that there have not been more film back conversions for the manual and automatic versions of these great vintage Polaroid cameras (the auto version shutter easily converted to standard AAA batteries)
@AnalogResurgence Next run-through, consider trying out pre-exposure to cope with the high-contrast Instax medium i.e. de-focus, set exposure to ~4 steps under-exposure for a uniform field you've metered for, aim the camera at that field, filling the frame, and pre-expose... then take a 'regular' picture on that same print. Blue sky is one possible pre-exposure field. A grey card would also do the trick. The idea is to go about it consistently and systematically.
I've tested my Polaroid 95 and 110a with Instax Wide. Fits PERFECTLY on the pressure plate! Mini and sometimes Square film can fit into 120 cameras. Tested a couple antique kodak with the Instax film taped to a suspended dummy roll. After watching your video, I'm gonna test my Polaroid 195
The original Polaroid roll film #110-series cameras that have full manual controls is what I turned into a user of Polaroid 100 series peel-apart film packs. Going "Instax" is the next step, but that requires an Instax back/camera. Instax Wide looks better on the "Polastax" cameras.
Analog resurgence sory for the question, i think u are expert. I want to ask i have a canon 514 xls and it broke but not the lens. I just thinking Can i just take the lens and give adapter into micro fourth thirds camera? If can what adapter can i use to apply it. Thnks b4
Off topic....can you recommend any great film camera repair places? I'm specifically looking for have a Rollei 35S repaired and I am striking out all around trying to find a repair place in the US. I've been putting out my quest for a repair place on photo forums and it seems I'm get recommendations for places that are now closed/out of business/retired.
I just let all my Polaroid stuff go, If I had a 180 I might have kept it, I had a mint 103 in the case with flash, bulbs manual and a very nice 420 along with a few spectras and some 600 film cameras. I have some other stuff you might be interested in, If you have a shop around town or still work in a lab maybe I could drop off some film some time and bring some of my collection by for your consideration.
I recently bought (I haven't received it yet) a Polaroid 180 to create content and use as my first large format camera. But I can't find the film for a good price. Do you have any tips? I'm still starting my channel, would you like to follow it for charity? :)

Please... what is your ebay shop name so we can have it in writing for a reference?
It’s linked in the description of this video
Between this and the 4x5 back for the 110 series that Grainydays covered, it’s nice that my old Land Cameras won’t just be gathering dust.
ben from an instant will love this
Always a good day with new AR video 📸🙌
Every time I hear pack film I get so sad. The fact Fuji rather destroy the machines than sell them to Polaroid/Impossible just seems so vindictive to me still
I’m excited to get one of these
This and the Wide one are so cool! I don't even see myself having the money for it, but if I ever did, I'd buy one in a heart beat.
Yea I really needed it for my daylab slide printer

I'm just here for the intro!

So true! I put instax wide into 4x5 dds film sheet holders and shoot with my graflex! You can also do that with the 2x3 graflex and instax mini film!
Just saw one in a furniture store that looked brand new I played with for 50 bucks. Hmmmmm! May have to go back and get it.

Shout out to Elysium!! This setup is pretty cool!

why not making an install wide version?
How would you work this on a automatic camera?

Nice! :)
2:00 i rarely see these.
I wonder if this would work on a Polaroid back for a 120 camera. If you own a camera where people aren't making instax backs like a Bronica.
The 110 and 120 are pretty similar. I make many kits that will fit the 120. Noah showed one in the video at 16:21.
So went on his website, didn’t see anything like for sale.
The items are available through the EBay store which is linked in the description
Someone make an Instax Wide back for Yashica TLR please!!!
why not use normal batteries?
The instx wide version uses AAA
Damn, mine is an automatic one and only has 100, 150, 300 and 3000 iso film...
Thats cool but that thing is so massive, you would think they could have made it shoot Wide film.

I kinda like it. I’d rather spend that amount of $ on this than the new Pentax 17 half frame that just came out. 😊

A bit steep price considering how cumbersome the camera becomes.
I mean I have a 215 that's never been used
US $448.00 LOL For badly 3D printed junk....
