I just read through the whole thread and wow-- you guys are inspiring. Really fantastic work. I just bought an Instax 210 secondhand for about $30 and have shot maybe 20ish photos so far. It seems to really excel at landscapes, particularly sky. Reds and blues are insanely lush, especially in NorCal sunshine. I do NOT have the hang of this yet but I'm plugging away.   I have a question about the Lighten, Normal, and Darken settings, because my used camera came without the instruction book: are they controlling shutter speed or flash brightness? Also, I want to do this: http://shuttercrazephotography.com/News/files/38520c6e764feabe7af4b5b9a855155d-30.html This dude has a slaved strobe and is using a cardboard sheet to bounce the instax flash to the sensor. Slave strobe bulbs are like $17 on Amazon so why not. It's a lot of work for an instant but I have other cams too. VVV thank you! try more magnesium fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jan 20, 2015 |

Do you need to use the cold clip with FP-100c? Does peeling the film too early result in overexposed photos, or underexposed? I can't seem to get images to come out nice using my Colorpack II, but it's only 10C out right now, so that might have something to do with it. Most of my shots come out overexposed Nevermind, I wasn't letting them develop long enough. I heard FP-100C was self terminating but for some reason I didn't believe it. I let some shots sit for 10 minutes before peeling them, and they came out perfect. BANME.sh fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Feb 19, 2015 |

Most of my shots come out overexposed Yeah FP-100C hates the cold. I just put it in my pocket and peel it later. I've let it sit for hours without issue Be careful with using the Colorpack II (and other similar cameras) in extreme cold. I've had 2 break and fall apart due to the cold.

I have been thinking about picking up one of the two P lenses from the lineup, but the 75mm one is ridiculously expensive and hard to get by, and the 127 is too close a focal length to my 100mm 2.8 beastie.

How much is too much to pay for flashcubes? I found a local guy with 23 cubes, selling them for $3 ea. I was gonna offer $40 for the whole lot but is that too much you think?

Bought a Fuji Instax Mini 8, took it to a bar, dropped it and it broke. But I loved it and will be replacing it soon. And I got this shot at the bar. Owen by dshenphotos, on FlickrI am bad at scanning.

 Untitled by Maciej, on FlickrMy scan-fu is weak. Shadows get crushed and colors get all sorts of screwed up. Do I need to shell out for one of those calibration targets on the off chance I decide to scan some instant film?

Scan in 48 bit and set your black and white points, your scanner won't make every image perfect for you.

Thanks. The spring back is from an old Cambo Calumet monorail camera. The Polaroid 405 barely fits in there. I finished replacing the cardboard piece with wood the other day. Right now I'm working on machining some new standards with slots for rise/fall.

Went to the photo fair, picked up some more expired film, and some kentemere to try out in 35mm. I also got a polaroid film back for my 500cm, super cheap couldn't pass it up. Forgot to buy instant film   Next step is to get an actual instant film camera that covers the whole film area.
