which camera match


Recommended Posts

<p>Yes a 545 series holder will do but you will need a 4x5 large format camera to put it in. The holder can be had for very little money as the film is now not in production but the camera can vary in price from $100 to thousands. Look/ask at the large format forum for more info. You can also make your own if you are adventurous.</p>

<p>Actually have a look at the large format forum now. There is a post on the holders ;)</p>

<p>I did this years ago. The easiest way, if you really want to use old stock Polaroid film, is an old Crown Graphic type of camera... a 4x5 press camera. There are always some available on the auction site. When I did this, Polaroid film was still in production. I loved those. Polaroid had some really great films - I loved the black & white ones in particular. I was a very early adopter of the digital idea by virtue of shooting Polaroid and then scanning the prints (scanners good for prints were available a long time before scanners good enough for film were). I could get some really nice images onto the computer that way, in some ways, better than scanning film, and better than a digital camera.</p>

<p>I still miss it, but personally, I don't think I would go to the expense of acquiring a 545 back and a 4x5 camera at this time just to use some. I still have the now useless 545 holder. I traded the camera some years ago for an original Diana toy camera.</p>
