This is the coolest thing ever. I have so much respect for the amount of time it would take to make the CAD model... Especially at the hinges part. Unless you had the original door part laser scanned?

Hello, this looks great. Although I read in other online threads about this kind of conversion that you also need to either modify the lens or change the focus distance on the front lock when the lens folds out. Can you confirm if you found it unnecessary and if the focus was off? Would be nice to see some photo examples you did using this conversion. Thank you, Fabio.

fa_ be_you Hi, when you place a conversion back on the camera you move film plane some cm behind its original position.... so you have to simply change stop position of the lens same distance behind its original position to have everything matching. Considering that i am more a photo technician rather than a good photographer... you can find pictures that i have shot here: www.flickr.com/photos/marcolucifora/albums/72157631208192034 Cheers, Marco

As a frequent 4x5 shooter I can tell you that this method of attaching backs is a pain in the ass in the field. If you're going to this extent, why not copy the existing method of attaching Graphloc style backs using slide locks? The rest if the back is beautiful.

I've uploaded also a new video on Vimeo, to show how to use it: vimeo.com/86825700 About graflok style, i have already developed the new POLACONV back, which has sliding plates almost like graflex cameras ... check it on my facebook page: facebook.com/polaconv it's a post of may the 4th !!! thanks for your comment !!

Hi Larry I was making this video 9 years ago and there were no Instax Wide back at that time. From what I can see, yes, you can use an Instax Wide back Also several years ago I was very active in communities like Polaroid-Passion and Polaroiders….. not these days If you want to check some pictures taken with my cameras you can check these two links…. www.flickr.com/photos/marcolucifora/albums/72157631208192034 And Go to polaroiders.ning.com/ and search for POLACONV

@@entity9742 basically one the back is mounted, focal plane is moved about 39mm behind its original position.... so if you lock the lens of the 800, 39mm behind its original position.... what you focus with the viewfinder will be also in focus in the film

Ciao Marco, I am interested in converting a Polaroid 110b, can you still make the converter? Also I guess the conversion changes the focal plane of the film , does that mean all focusing is with the ground glass, or can the rangefinder be recalibrated? Thanks. Chris.

At the price of 4x5 camera these days it seems like a pointless exercise. How many lenses can you use ? Interesting video and execution but not a practical application or use of time to take a photograph. Good luck with your vision.
