Polaroid Originals in a 4x5 Camera Hack

Check out my latest video    • Shooting 4x5 Film - Scotland  

Part 1
How to load and shoot polaroid or impossible project film in a 4x5 film camera.
I have tried and tested this method with great results.

Part 2 will be a video in the field of me shooting some stuff through my old mpp 4x5 and showing the results.

I haven''t had any issues with focusing using this method as im usually shooting beyond f5.6.

Hope this is of help to someone seeing as they dont make 4x5 instant film anymore.

Sorry about the low budget recording method...

There will be lots of ways to make this better such as properly marking your ground glass with a pencil and ruler but this method worked fine for me.

The results so far have been amazing although all shot in doors so they had a quite an orange tungsten hue to them due to the longer exposure under less than ideal lights.

UPDATE*
Focusing was fine but what i have started doing to correct the focal distance perfectly is cut an old polaroid in to 2 thin strips and double sided tape them to the front of the film holder as a tiny shim/spacer to correct for the small fraction closer to the lens the polaroid inside the holder would be than a standard piece of film.
Works a treat :)
