Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain staring into that ground glass. I'm in love...

made a film back for 100 series instant films as I cant afford 4x5 instants right now.

very nice...love the blur!
any shots of the camera itself? i have a 100 back ripped from a propack that i've been trying to put to good use. various experiments with it and so far nothing that has grabbed me as a keeper camera.

I have one yet to be scanned...

It is a Toyo Omega View camera, not sure the specific model. It was generously donated to me.

I have a 127 f4.7 on it that came off a spare 600SE 127mm lens

i didn't even know what a 'view camera' was until i looked on google! i know what the cameras are, just didn't know that's what they were referred to as. hmmm... something to think about.

The last one is particularly striking.

I wanna see the box now.

any chance we can get some details on the fabrication parts and maybe a shot of the modification?

you mean of the polaroid back? Polaroid made a back for this purpose it called the 405, I didn't want to wait so I built one.

I simply cut a piece of ABS plastic to fit the 4x5 Graflok back. screwed it to a 100 series polaroid film back, looks just like a polaroid 405 film back.
