tom_fowler Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>I recently bought a polaroid quad camera. I believe a Cambo 40 or something close to that. I am having trouble figuring out how to load the damn thing. I have other polaroid cameras (210,instax, sx-70) so I am pretty familiar with loading the film but this one stumps me. Unless it just doesn't take fuji 100c. I will attach a picture so you can see what I am talking about. It has three doors with the rollers.</p> <p><a title="photo (1) copy by Tom Fowler, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3880/14534239758_d41c024c7c_s.jpg" alt="photo (1) copy" width="75" height="75" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 <p>If it takes Polaroid roll film you can (in total darkness) cut down a piece of black & white sheet film and place it inside the camera. You can take a single shot and then back to darkroom to unload. Develop in tray in total darkness. Time consuming, but you can at least see if the camera works. I've done this with my old Polaroid 150.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 <p>For pack film cameras, you could take an old film pack, and load an appropriately sized sheet of film into it in the dark. I probably wouldn't do it more than once, though.</p> -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
