    DIY 4x5 Instant Film

    Sharing how I homemade my 4x5 Instant film in the video. This process is not new, it is known as Diffusion Transfer Reversal or Silver Diffusion. Similar to Polaroid Type 55 or the New55 film. Basically the negative is processed by a monobath paste and the unexposed silver got transferred over to the receiver sheet to form the positive.

    This process is not new but seldom discussed so I thought I made a video on the how to so far. The quality is far from the likes of the commercial product but at least the results is unique and one of the kind.
