They are scans of the negatives that you get with the fuji fp100c pack film, having bleached the backing off the negative.

The conversion was done by following the instructions on this site.
 
Thanks again
Tempted for a 104 I've seen
Film is v expensive Any where cheaper that 15 pound for 10
 
Just bought it bloody camera costs same as Film haha that's crazy
 
Yea they are doing strong money them but bet they are grand
Looking forward to getting mine not that I will be shooting much with it at £1.20 a shot lol
 
I bought this StarWars droid head 6 months ago with 2 packs of film...

Can't pick it up now or you'll be able to see where I haven't dusted...:meh: :indifferent:

Pick it up dare you lol
Might get brownie points for dusting never dusted in my life so no idea how that feels lol but deff let me know
They are what they are but got to admit the prints look good
 
well my 104 arrived what a ugly betty
battery all corroded and leaked so will do the aaa mod and test
 
I've got several, I must take an image of them. I picked up a lot from car boots when they were £1 each, but also a professional one with interchangeable lenses for shooting macro.
I get the impossible films. Love shooting the b&w films

Last year at a car boot sale, I bought the poor man's version:

If I can ever afford the film, I will try it out. I have been thinking about converting it to 120 film though.

like that is it for sale???:naughty::naughty:
 
If I sold it....I'd have to dust....an nobody wants to dust

:D
 
right the 104 i bought is kaput i already bought the fujifilm fp100 pack what other polaroids take it please?
and thank you for above posts
 
thank you
which non folding one would people reccomend something not so ugly lol sorry for all questions just making sure i dont waste more money
thanks
 
What's up with the 104? Is there any power getting through from the aaa pack you've installed?
 
No nothing happening at all cover light sensor and nothing no click when remove finger :(
 
Sounds like there's no power at all getting to the meter (or the metering circuit is dead). I stripped down a ColorPack 80 a few weeks ago to convert it to use FP100 and opened up the lens assembly/meter and there doesn't look to be much mechanical to fix.
 
Yea I think it's had it to be fair the seller has agreed to return it so will just replace with something else that takes 100 pack just carnt decide which
 
That's a result then. I'm surprised they'll refund after you've done the battery swap though. Good luck with your replacement.
 
I didn't damage anything and re soldered the original connections back on plus gave everything a good clean not that it helped lol
 
Well Despite the seller offering a refund I ended up keeping the 104
With the intention of making a pin hole from it so I got started this morning but before I butchered it thought I would try get it working so stripped it down and found there was a bad solder connection re soldered few bits up and YES the shutter began to fire result !!!!
So just tested and double exposed the 1st by accident (doubted the shutter fired and it did ) and the second was bit dark but wow I love instant cameras
Just need to figure the lighten / darken knob any advice as at £1.20 a shot it's a shame to waste them but do like the look

And this is the interesting one, a Polaroid 600SE with detatchable lens, close up kit etc. Was used in manufacturing, I believe to take images of defective parts/PCB's. Come complete in a flight case.

Wow that polaroid 600 se i didn't know that, looks really good!
 
I have a polaroid Land type not sure which model but at the time i got it for 9dollars on ebay with a case and a timer. At that time you could get a pack of 10 fuji for 7.9£ on 7dayshop. I still have a few pack but with the price of the pack nowaday i am reticent at using them.
They are a real joy to use.

I've never understood how to scan the back off the black and white and i didn't know that the same could be done on colors. How did you do that?
