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!

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.
@ribsy Жыл бұрын
yea i want some ND for it. thanks for the rec
@paulfield68155 ай бұрын
Thank you for this comment. I just bought that 4 stop filter and can't wait to try it. When you are shooting without the filter are you raiting the film for 800? I have heard some people are rating it at 640 and getting better results.

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.;)

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?
