so convenient to be able to shoot it handheld with a proper lens. we have to support in production film like instax so that fujifilm will continue making them ;)

For someone who grew up in the shadow of Polaroid, this is truly an unholy monster. Polaroid invented instant photography. Kodak stole it and got nailed for it . Kodak then sold their technology to Fuji, who turned it into Instax. There is a great account of the whole sordid affair in the book "A Triumph of Genius". So this is essentially mating a Polaroid with adulterated Kodak tech. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

I will forever say it - Instax is probably the best instant film ever made, they just support it with bad glass and this is proof. dreaming of the day they made a Fuji X Instax; the evo is the path closer

I love Fuji Instax cameras. I recently used one to take photographs at an 18th. The kids went wild for the camera and film. They loved it. Plus, being physical prints, they won’t lose the photos.

Your first video inspired me to get my own polaroid 110 converted and it's been sent off to option8 to get a lomograflok attached!

Hello, I have the same/similar camera with the instax wide conversion. I bought mine about 5 years ago, however mine is a 110B so the rangefinder and framing window is combined. I would recommend sourcing a Polaroid 4 stop ND filter which attaches to the lens (since there is no ability to screw filters on). It reduces the film ISO from 800 to about ISO 50 which means you can shoot wide open when outside. I generally prefer the performance at f5.6, I find it is the sweet spot between bokeh and center sharpness especially for portraiture.

I just got this camera a few days ago (but modded for 4x5 film not instax) but still super excited to use it. I've shot instax film using the Lomograflok on my Intrepid and can attest that the film is incredibly when using a good lens. Love the portraits you took.

I have that very same camera but converted into an actual 4x5. Very very fun to use.

What a cool way to resurrect such a great old camera!!! I'll have to get myself one in the near future and try out the conversion. So much better than the Fuji cameras. And, a great way to keep these old cameras alive and relevant.

That camera is beautiful! So great to see this conversion. Last time I shot with a Polaroid Land Camera was about 55 years ago. It belonged to my Dad and he let me shoot it a few times.

I have one of those cameras in original form and it has a clip on light meter, still in working order, as you say, it is a lovely camera.

I have a model 160, but I BADLY wanna get a 110. I just bought the lomograflok back, so I'm hoping I can snag one of these beauties so I can experience using it. If not, at least I have my cameradactyl 4x5

Great video - partially because you just increased my vocabulary immensely - thanks! "Boke(a)holic" - now that's such a cool word I'll definitely be using! And lots of great photo tips (such as the instax film works best for portraits and not landscapes). Another excellent tip is to use the mint instax camera with a separate meter (I can attest to that). Enjoyed the video very much - thank you. An finally, being from the Bronx myself (although not a beer drinker) - you stirred up feelings in me of "Bronx" patriotism (I love that you t-shirt!)

This is so dope! Those photos look great!

I’m currently trying to replicate this conversion! It’s taking a while to get the 3D design just right but I’m very excited for when everything’s done!

I am legitimately blown away! This is amazing! Now I must search eBay to see if I can actually afford any of the stuff

Took a look at Albert's guide on how to build this mod and honestly, it seems pretty simple. If I can find a cheap 110a in an antique shop or junk store, I might give this mod a try! Carrying this seems MUCH easier than carrying around my Graflex 😂

Nice overview, thanks Ribsy! Definitely putting this on the build guide.

I had an eBay-sourced Polaroid 110A and had it converted to take 100/660 series film. That was fine, then I set aside to "do 35mm film." When Fuji stopped making Pack film, that lashup became a "filmless classic" like the Polaroid 180/195. I've seen others convert 110-series Polaroid cameras to take Fuji Instax film, which depended upon finding a trashed Lomography Instax Wide camera. (But then, even Fuji's Instax cameras are two steps above trash, anyway.) This has me thinking about this kind of analog photography once again.;)

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I think this kind of camera makes 4x5 so much more accessible. :)

Love it !!! ( Polaroid sx-70 shooter here )

I love this! I paid a guy a few years back to mod mine, and completely got scammed :(

I’m still waiting for a LomoGraflok Mini to put on my Graflex 2x3. It’s like the perfect size.

Bro bokeh ho is my my favorite photography phrase of all time now 🤣

I have this camera and thanks to you for posting this video.

Beautiful camera. Would love to have one. I can’t 3D print though.

Damn the image quality looks amazing

Interesting. After recently buying a Zinstax back I don't need to be tempted with another instant camera for a while!

Amazing, I need one now!

Very cool Ribs!

Wow, that camera take great looking pictures.

That's so sick!

Just. Wow.

Top Dude. (excellent presenter) I'm far too lazy to abandon my D3S/D3X/D4 bodies for this, but it look great. 😀

I have make the conversion too without any 3d printed parts and trying to keep the camera as original looking as possible. but required a lot of sawing :')

I have a Polaroid 150 and 95b and it is so close but not the same. Ive been staring at them for months trying to figure out how to make it work with the Lomograflok! I may have to get my hands on a 110.

That is a beautiful thing.

Are you able to shoot wide open outside with this set up or are you having to use like an ND filter becuase of the ISO 800 film? Also are you rating it for 800, I've heard some people are rating it for 640. Great video!

That’s pretty freaking cool. I’ve just EBay listed up a broken lens instax wide camera that I was gonna do this with, but too many other projects 👍🏼👍🏼😎

@Ribsy It would be nice to see instax square backs for hasselblads

Hi, thank you to share your experience. I've a question, how do you find with the focus considering the space occupied by the Lomo? Is the position comfortable, can you still see well through the range/viewfinder? Thank you!

this is so cool. Man, why do you have to tease us like that bro? We can't buy a camera like this lol

Do you not trust your graflex rangefinder?

欲しい

I'm happy to pay for the preservation of film, though I do wonder what the margin is for Fuji instax 🧐

Does this work with a regular 110 Polaroid model that is neither 110a or 110b, I own this model but haven't been able to find any information about it.

I recently just converted my 110a to take instax wide, I'm still having trouble getting the focusing to work as the images are being produced but it's still a little blurry despite making sure my composure on the rangefinder is correctly aligned. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I really like the practice with this camera but I'm also wasting so many shots lol

I have this camera. Where do I get the mod?!?!

Black and white film is not going anywhere though, it will definitely outlive color film and be there for decades to come since it isn't that hard to make.

Can you still remove the lomography back with this conversion? I’d like to follow this conversion but still use the back on another camera.

Where can I get this?

Dude instax with a wide aperture is a truly god tier combo haha. Call me a bokeh hoe but shooting that shit at f/2.8 on the MUP is pure magic when you can land focus. I’ve had both the 110A and 110B and while most people prefer the single window of the B I find the increased magnification of the A’s rf easier to focus, also that keystone shape seems easier than the circle found in most other rf’s. I’ve never seen black frame wide! I’m hyped it exists when did they release that?

Who sells the conversion?

Was shopping this morning on how to convert my Polaroid 450. I may look into a modded one of these. Who can do this in the USA?

I adore pathfinder 1959 camera converted but in 2023 iPhone whit app gratis like reeeflex and Bluetooth instax printer make identical quality pictures and stay in poket and not is a 2,8 kg camera 😂;interesting also for collectors not to really use

Hey Ribs, is the gentleman accepting jobs to mod these cameras at all?

Even though this is so sick and I would love to have one for myself, do you think this might not be necessary with Polaroid printers? I just purchased one myself and I just shoot the photos on my camera and send it over to my printer to give the photos that Polaroid feel. It’s an amazing concept and clearly there will be a certain feel to your process but I’ve been thinking with technology, there is a lot of work around to get the same results for “cheaper” if that makes sense.

Those Polaroid 110a cameras are horrible. Clunky an ofcourse the freelines won't match ones you convert it to some other format.

This is such a stupid waste of time!!
