Thanks Martin
I am subjected to a single thing, the freedom
Old Polacolor (pack film) shot in 2017...

Lens: SINAR SINARON MC 210MM ƒ/5.6
Shutter: SINAR
Back: Polaroid 405*
Exposure: 1/60 @ ƒ/11
Light leak...
*Polaroid 405 backs work quite poorly on SINAR P series cameras. The back rubs against the rear standard's frame when shooting in horizontal and shooting in portrait mode two creates 2 very frustrating issues: A) It is virtually impossible to remove the dark-slide from the back when the back is mounted with the dark-slide down and B) It is difficult it not impossible to use the back in a dark-slide up position as the back (film extraction end) rubs against the base of the rear standard. I had a spacer made some years ago but it's only 1 inch thick (25.4mm), and while this makes shooting in landscape mode a breeze, it's still difficult if not impossible to shoot portrait mode unless you're willing to burn film by removing the back (sans dark-slide) after each shot. I should have had a 3" spacer made but the machine shop wanted a small fortune and why would I do that when 54, 55 and 59 were still readily available (at that time). The only real solution to using a SINAR P & Polaroid 405 back in vertical, is to rotate the camera 90 degrees. Sad but too true. One simple solution to the shooting vertical issue is using a SINAR F front standard mounted at the rear of the camera (with the swing adjusting lever mounted towards the lens) but landscape mode still requires a spacer.
