Fujifilm FP100C45 Fujifilm PA-45 on Toyo 45A

[Nikkornos]

Polaroid is history. Many film sold are either expired or very expired.

Fujifilm makes the FP100C45, which requires the use of PA-45. The PA-45 slides perfectly into the Toyo 45 rotating back.

Gear to use, Toyo 45A. Lenses? Using the Horseman Super Topcor 90mm and 150mm (good for 4X5). Not the non super Topcor mean for 6X9.

Special adapter for Horseman lens on Toyo. Specially ordered.

Some test shots in Botanical Gardens. Copied LX3...

Test shots in Lower Pierce. Lighting was very poor.... Blue cast?

 

[lualua]

what lens were u using? you're hitting the edge of your image circle.

 

[Nikkornos]

I thought so. Possibly due to the 52mm Nikon HC-3 lens hood....

Topcor Super 90mm 5.6. Haiz use back on the Horseman....
Still not happy with the blue cast.

I usually take FP100C45 in bright light shooting people. Usually OK if exposed at 1/60 F8 flash light.

But at low light seems that serious color cast or shift. The blue cast also was due to serious mist and low light (cloudy).

Need a 81A attached. Was using only UV.

Direct positive paper needs to play around with filters.....

Wootsk was there too.

Wah, cool, I bought a Polaroid PA-45 back but never use it (thinking of modify a Polaroid 120 to equip with but never start yet) , only play with 100c n 3000b with my Mamiya press at this moment.

I think Fuji also produces 3000b in 4x5 format.

It's an old Gundlach 8x10, probably will do some restoration work as well for it!

Wow, you are my hero man! When can we see you in action?

I had been following the China 8X10 site in Xitek. They are now hot as well. But 8X10 film where to buy? Doing only Positive paper?

I suppose someone, or a few here, must has pissed Wootsk off... but he is still watching.

We should all meet up for kopi, coffee, makan etc.

I was tempted by the Mamiya press once.

Maybe can shoot with you one day please

The finished photo on the FP100B45 is not that bad. I like the results. The scanning (copied using LX3) though is not very clear.

To Wootsk

Not sure if this link works. If not I will relink.

 

[mamypoko]

Yes we should meet up soon, after all its all in the name of fun!

My camera should be shipping out today with a box of film, I already have 2 lenses for it when I was searching for a shutter for my 150 Xenotar. Not sure if my Aero can cover 8x10 at portrait distance though.

Can still order film from BH or Adorama, Shanghai also has 8x10. I know some people shoot XRay film but problem is XRay film has emulsion on both sides.
