![]() In this case I decided to put them down on the dark part to see how I should dodge it. At this point it was clear the bottom half needed to be dodged (covered for part of the exposure period so it gets less light than the top half.) Again, back to test strips. Decided at that point to freshen the developer just to be sure and tried six seconds…the same result. I did the first test strip and it was all black….so I did another and settled on 8 seconds…well the top half of the print was OK, the bottom again was all dark. This is a print with the same enlarger exposure for the entire print.there was no dodging or burningĪfter I got some nice reactions on an image from my debonair (similar to holga) of a local office building and it’s reflection in a pond I decided I wanted to make an 8 1/2 x 11 print of it. Once you take the first few shots it should be easier. Finally, if the tab is still to tight you can *very* slightly (basically unlatch it and hold it closed so light can’t get in) open the back to take the pressure off the pack. The metal backs are designed to handle the metal tab’s pressure. ![]() I am going to use gaffers tape as it’s strong but low residue. Other alternatives are getting an original Polaroid pack and replacing the plastic backs with polaroid metal backs. I use gaffers tape to hold the tabs down. Had I still been running into issues with the film packs. Another tip is to get the clamps pushed down (some even cut them off) to reduce the pressure on the pack. Once tip I got from FPP and others is to put tape on the darkslide tab area to make it harder to tear, thus getting the first paper tab set right. As a result I managed to trash several film packs. This means the paper dark slide and paper tabs are difficult to get out. This means that the metal clamps that’s held the film is are, for lack odd a better word, too strong. ![]() ![]() The current film, made by Fuji, has plastic cases. The first thing is one had to be aware of is these cameras we’re designed to use Polaroid pack film which used metal to make the case. Thus the unit was ready to shoot when it came out of the box. First one big advantage of purchasing from FFP verses eBay is their products are tested and battery conversions done where applicable. Recently I purchased a Polaroid 210 from the Film Photography Project. ![]()
