How many pictures did you get off of your roll of 120 film?

Chris

Diwan,

I am new here and just found this thread while researching my own polaroid conversion. I am currently converting 2 polaroid 150's. I have one already completed and ready for pack film. the other I am converting to roll film. I have been running into problems creating an adapter like patrick created for this thread. I am contemplating using your photo frame idea, but I think I would like it to serve as a cradle for multiple self contained backs. Each will have a calibrated film counter, each will be masked to specific dimensions, and each will possess a darkslide so I will be able to change backs in mid roll. What do you think?

Chris

Steve,

Sorry to bother you. I found the information I was seeking from other posts. I am fashioning the film carrier for inside the camera and the 6x12 mask for my negatives. Hopefully, I can show you the results shortly. I got a great buy on porta 160 220mm film. I am going to compensate for the lack of paper backing by attaching some paper to the pressure plate to ensure good registration without excess tension or scratching of my film. Wish me luck!!!!

Chris

Steve, How large is the mask that you made? How large are the photos you are taking? I thought that more pictures could result from a single roll of film.

I have just finished cutting the back off of a polaroid super shooter and I also cut the back off of a polaroid 150. I followed the instructions off of the land list. I am lacking the pack film at the moment. The specialty camera store that carries the film that I need is not close by. I put in groundglass and got a perfect upside down image so I think I am on the right track. I will post pictures when I am done.

Steve,

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to pull up the Jpeg but I couldn't enlarge it enough to see the label clearly. I am currently modding two polaroid 150's. One for packfilm and one for roll film. Your pics are just incredible. I will try to have both cameras up and running by the end of the weekend if all goes well.

Chris

Steve,

I am currently converting a polaroid 150 to roll film. You said in your post that "I have a label on the bottom of mine which gives the amount of rotation needed between frames." Could you please share that information with us?

Chris
