  • There are a number of different models of Polaroid Land Cameras to choose from, and it can be a bit confusing if you're just starting out. In this video, I give an overview of the model that I think is the best value, as well as do some shooting at an abandoned motel with Fuji's FP100C pack film.

    You can definitely bleach the back paper and turn it to a full scannable/printable negative. Which comes out extremely sharp. A lot more detailed than the actual print. It's technically a large format negative.

      Don't give up, there is plenty of films for sale now, this may not be the case in 5-10 years. Even if the "Polaroid Originals" or someone else comes up with another film, it will never be the real FP-100C , it would never be able to give you instant negative as well as positive.

    Excellent video introduction to pack film and the Automatatic Land cameras! I started shooting pack film in 2012, when the Fuji color and black and white film was about $10 a pack and it wasn't hard to find expired Polaroid film. It was great to have so many options and I used to carry three Automatic 100s in my backpack with different types of film.
    Pack film is still my favorite instant film and I still use it often but it just about makes me cry to think that it will soon be all dried up and gone.

    Thanks for the informative video. My cousin just gave me the Polaroid 104 owned by my late uncle, and I was hoping to find film to use it in his memory. Unfortunately, the only fp 100c I can find is ungodly expensive now. Hundreds of dollars for a couple boxes is definitely too much for me. I'm trying to look into alternatives, but just having this camera around whether I can use it or not is a nice reminder of my uncle.

    The most fun I had with a Polaroid-pack-film-camera was "going manual" with a Polaroid 110 (roll film) converted to pack film. With a Minolta Auto Meter IVF exposure meter in hand or a Metz 60 CT-1 for flash, I was 60 seconds away from The Future in the 1990's. I have used SX-70/OneStep Polaroids, but the lack of control has left me cool to that branch of the family. I never got to use Fuji's FP-100C, because by that time I was using digital still cameras. It would be interesting to have the peel-apart-Instant-Film option again.

    I had a 180 Camera for years and just got rid of it. It was amazing but the cost of film is just silly. A couple years ago it was $8.95 a box. Although the 250 is all automatic I agree it is still the best auto one made.

    One thing that I’ve found really helpful is to make sure you clean the rollers where the print comes. Do this each time before you load with a q-tip or something and things won’t get jammed and prints will the developing solution gel evenly spread

      @@areallyrealisticguyd4333 Yep which is why you can get these land cameras at damn near any antique store for about 10 bucks (on Ebay the highest I found was 30). Its sad but Fujifilm isn't going to continue making film for a niche audience of people. Kodak, Fujifilm, Lomography, etc all still make 35mm and 120mm because they know those are the two film stocks that will 100% sell. Film photography isnt that much of a niche anymore its gaining popularity at a massive rate again. However peel apart film isn't really popular and probably wont be. If it gains a resurgence then maybe Fujifilm will bring their peel apart back but I doubt it. I feel Peel Apart film stock is the new equivalent of Kodachrome. It costs far too much to produce and the amount of people who use it isnt near enough for it to warrant being made.

    I always feel immense sadness when I think of pack film. I first saw it in the movie Crazy/Beautiful, I was probably 13/14 & Kirsten Dunst’s character peels the film a part and rubs the negative into this book to make a transfer. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I didn’t actually get to use the film or even know what it was till almost 10 years later. And even then had I known it would no longer be made, I would have spent all my money stocking up when it was still $10/pack. 😞 it’s my absolute favorite form of film photography!

    Sadly for Japanese companies like Fujifilm they tend to focus on their sales in Japan for their product lines for the sake of their investors. Considering how popular instax is they probably didn't consider their pack film a viable product to make anymore since everyone has moved on to their new film lines. I really wish they'd give their manufacturing to another company but they're dead set on keeping all their film formulas a secret even if it's a dead format

    Now once at Convalescent Hospital for Children, it was also Christmas Day, and we opened our presents in the morning.
    Dorothy was working that day, too.
    I opened one of my presents, and it was a Talking Clock,which used one D battery.
    I opened another present.
    Out came a box.
    "GE. Solid State Automatic Portable Phonograph.
    With automatic turntable!!" it read.
    "Lover got a record player!" Dorothy said.
    I opened another present. It was also a bag that had something in it.
    I took out a bunch of record albums.
    "Now these are from Harry Herring, ok,Mark??" Bell said.
    "Now these Bell n Whittet help me to buy.
    What you think that they are??" Harry said.
    "One is Miles Davis-
    Kind of Blue!!
    Another is John Coltrane-A Love Supreme!!
    Another is Jimi Hendrix-Are You Experienced!!
    Another one is Sly and the Family Stone-

    Another one is B.B.King-Live At Cook County Jail!!
    Another one is Black Gold, which also is a double album!!
    And another one is the Super Hits Volumes 1 and 2!!" I said.

    "Keystone. Instant Loading Magicube Color Outfit!!" it read.
    "Now Bob Whittet got that for you, ok??
    That's a camera, so you won't be afraid!!" Bell said.
    I opened another present.
    Out came a brand new camera accessory bag,several rolls of film, and several boxes of flashcubes, which were magicubes.
    Then,at 2,Mom and Dad came, and we visited.
    I opened one of my gifts from Mom and Dad.
    Out came a box.
    "GE. FM/AM Accent Line Portable Radio!!" it read.
    "Now you can listen to my radio station, which is WVOR-FM-100.5!!" Dad said.
    I took it out of the box.
    I turned it on- the batteries were already in it. I had on a station, and I heard easy listening beautiful music.
    "This is the Empire State FM Network.
    WVOR-FM-100.5, in
    Rochester, New York!!" the radio blared out.
    "There it is, Mark William!! That's us!!" Dad said.
    "Now did I tell you??
    We also broadcast Muzak throughout the stores and restaurants!!" Dad said.
    "So,the Muzak you hear in Star Markets, is us!!" Dad said.
    "We are up in Midtown Tower, up on the third floor of Midtown Tower, and do you know BBF??
    Because that's where your brother Steve worked at!!
    Steve was on the FM station!!" Dad said.
    I asked what radio station WBBF was like inside.
    "Steve could tell you about that! He was an announcer on the FM station!! You went in the AM side, past the reception area, down the hallway, past the sales and the promotional offices, and you come to the rooms for the AM side, and one of them is the main room for the AM side!!
    Now the FM station was in the back, and it was all one room for broadcasting, and a huge classical music record library!!" Dad said.
    "I also was out at WSAY.
    The station that was out at the tower, in that house!! The studio for broadcasting was upstairs, and it was also the old kitchen.
    You had to be very, very quiet when you went upstairs, because they could hear you all the way downstairs!!
    The studio had very poor soundproofing, and they could hear you all the way downstairs if you yelled or screamed, and your voice would echo all the way downstairs!!" Dad said.

      Once we ate at Don and Bob's on Monroe Avenue.
      I had a chocolate milkshake, a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich with chips and a dill pickle, cottage cheese, and a dish of thick chocolate custard.
      I asked to use the restroom.
      "Are you kidding me??
      Not that place back there, you don't! That's that freezing cold, dirty place back there, and it also echoes back there, very badly!!
      Steve and Stefanie brought you here the last time, and you went in there, and from what Steve said, he could hear you all the way back in there!! The sound of your voice reverberated up through the pipes in there!! It's like a horrible nightmare when you go back in there to that restroom!!
      That is absolutely no place for you to be in, at all!!
      It's freezing cold back there, it's dirty, it's filthy, and worst of all, it also amplifies your voice in there, for many, many miles!! Through those steel and metal pipes in there! And it also bounces off of those hard tile walls back in there!!" Dad said, but I went ahead, and I went right back in there.
      The door to the restroom angrily slammed shut behind me, and I was in the men's restroom at Don and Bob's, which was a horrible, closed in, freezing cold dump of a place to be.
      I heard a metal and aluminum ceiling fan blasting freezing cold air in the restroom.
      I saw one whole, entire set of steel and metal pipes in the ceiling of the restroom, and the restroom was almost enclosed in steel and metal, because of the pipes.
      As I tinkled in the urinal, which was a dirty old Crane urinal, I yelled and screamed, and my voice had a closed in, steel and metal echo, which rang out horribly for many, many miles in the restroom.
      "I love it in this restroom.
      It's really freezing cold, and there's a fan and pipes in the ceiling.
      Plus it echoes in here, too.
      I see a vent in the wall.
      Think I'll put my mouth up to it and scream like a metal call microphone, and see what happens!" I said, and I did.
      I could not hear very much of anything at first.
      Then, I let out a long, deafening, earsplitting, pained scream of,
      "I WANT A BACON WHOPPER WITH FIDDLE STRINGS ON TOP!!" and I also heard my voice echo and re echo up through the metal airvent and up through the pipes.
      -Mark Weintraub.

    Hi - I have 4-5 Polaroid Land Cameras that my grandpa gave me a few years ago. Do you have any advice on how to check if they will still work or where to go to check? I would like to know before I make an investment on batteries/film/etc. (Texas based) I know one of them is a 250, but I cannot recall the exact models of the others.

    • @KyleMcDougall
      @KyleMcDougall  6 лет назад

      Hey there, the only way that I have heard to test the Land Camera is to install a battery, cock the shutter, put your finger over the "electric eye" (light meter), which is located beside the lens, trip the shutter (you should hear a click), and then remove your finger from the electric eye (you should hear a second click). The second click means that the battery is good/working and that the light meter is working. Hope this helps.

    These cameras are absolutely beautiful.

(*sighs* Greece). I wish I could get it knowing I'll have it for a long time. I was looking to get an analog camera but anything "new" on the market isnt worth it.

    Now when I was little, I used to go to Northside
    School, and once, we went swimming up at the Hubbard tank that was up in the hospital.
    Mr.Dominice had the Polaroid camera with him, and I was very afraid of the camera, and the flash.
    But Miss Carol was with me, and she told me that the camera would never hurt me at all.
    But Mr.Dominice used
    flash, which absolutely terrified and frightened me.
    I cried and sobbed in Miss Carol's arms, because I was so afraid of the camera and the flash.
    And the children teased me all about cameras and flashes.
    "Hey, Mark, I got my
    Instamatic with me!!
    Look at, Mark,
    it's a flash camera!"
    a kid said to me.
    Eddie Wilkes had a birthday party,and one of his presents was a camera.
    "I was wrong when I said that my camera wasn't a flash camera.
    It is a flash camera!!
    It takes flashcubes!!
    So ha, ha, ha, Weintraub, now I can
    scare you to death, by

      Sorry for the late reply. Ebay allowed me to return both cameras to the sellers for a refund. I've since found an awesome seller on Etsy who goes by the name 20th Century Camera who knows how to modify the battery compartments (to use a CR2 or AA batteries) on Polaroid Land cameras and sells them. Definitely satisfied and love the camera. Wish there was some way to convince Fujifilm to continue making pack film because the results are amazing. I've signed a petition but not sure if that's gonna be effective.
