Will it work?! Vintage Kodak instant camera with instant film in 2020!

2020's been a rubbish year so far, so I thought I'd do my bit by trying to coax a Kodak 160 EF instant camera out of retirement, along with a seriously expired pack of film. Will they or won't they?
Too bad these big bad beasts didn't hang around, they were clunky-gorgeous, and it was fun to shoot with.

I wish someone would make film for these old girls again, there's a niche market for it.

We had one of those when I was a kid. It felt so futuristic at the time.

I still have family photos that were taken with this camera, when I was 2 yrs old, in '83! The pics are sharp, glossy, barely non-bendable; looking at them right now in my photo book. I've always felt that they were ahead of their time as well.

This was a way much better built camera than polaroid. Took way better quality photos as well. Polaroid has the batteries built in to their film packs. I had a polaroid 600 land camera back in the day, and all the photos i took with it are degrading, looks as if the material on the inside is turning to power, and pulling off.

I think I'm going to have to get a pack or two of that Kodak film and see if I can load Instax Wide into the cartridge. It looks quite close to the same size, exposes through the back of the print like the Kodak did, and it's about 1/3 stop faster than the fast version of the Kodak film. If I can get it into the cartridge, then I'll see about getting one of the cameras. They have better lenses than what Fuji sells for Instax these days.

Not sure if Wide would fit, but there are multiple videos on KZfaq how to load it with Mini or Square film.

@SilntObsvr 2 жыл бұрын

@@Dan-TechAndMusic Wide won't fit -- it's 1/4" too wide. I've got a Square adapter on the way from Sweden, just drop the whole pack into the adapter and the adapter into the camera. Set a little darker than normal (Instax is ISO 800, the faster Kodak was ISO 640). Unfortunately, the Kodamatic 950 I bought seems to have a problem in the shutter circuits, I'll have to try getting another. I might have been wrong about the "better lenses", though -- that may apply only to the EK-4 and EK-6 (and an EK-6 is almost certain to have bad gears as soon as you try to use it; they plastic didn't hold up).

The back side of the print should have been black, the color of the developing fluid that is in the lower pouch and spread by the rollers. It appears to have been completely dried up and did not spread much at all. Not surprising after 35 years!

Instant film can develop in the light. The Impossible Project film (which is nowadays known as Polaroid, but they recreated Polaroid from scratch when the "real" Polaroid went bankrupt in 2008) was sensitive to light during developing, and modern Polaroid film to a degree too, but old Polaroid, all Instax and all Kodak Instant film can be in the light while developing.
