Converting Polaroid 800 to 4x5

[Bob Farr]

Hi,

This link seemed it may spark some interest on the forum. I haven't any idea whether it's been discussed in another thread.

A student in the Darkroom class I teach asked if I knew anything about converting a Polaroid 800 camera to 4x5. Pleading ignorance he sent this link. Interesting process!! There are also links for conversion to 120 film. So, at the next class we'll look at his camera and see how it would work.

Interesting. I wonder if it would be adaptable to converting a 150?

Here is a link for 120 conversion.

And another 12/220 conversion.

Perhaps browsing the rangefinder forum there may be more information for converting other cameras.
