Polaroid Super Big Swinger
« on: May 14, 2009, 04:04:42 AM »
I continue to disassemble and reassemble. This is one of my more successful conversions, I think. This is a camera I will use more than a couple times...

I must admit I'm rather impressed!

Maybe we should do a Bob the Builder award ceremony at some point ;)

I just bought 3 poloroid cameras..$1. buck each..all look and feel to be in newish condition..big question..is there any type of film that will work (instant) other than paying big big bucks for poloroid film?

Diane, I guess we'd need to know what the cameras were. :-\

I guess I was thinking maybe the fugi instant film might work and thought someone  would have that answer..guess I will search around at all the old forgotten business' on the prairie and see if anyone still has some in stock rather than pay a mint for some..

It always pays to look around. I lately got 2 packs of expired 600 for 15$ each (tax in). Sadly they had no more left.

I saw your post regarding that..I should be so lucky..I think it's one of those things that unless your really looking for it, your just not going to notice..I suppose I should start paying better attention!

if you want to use the fuji film, you could spend $3-$5 on a colorpack or super shooter.
