How to use a Polaroid Colorpack Camera

[detrgz]

excellent

[ecuamario]

please HELP! I recently got a Polaroid Colorpack II and I put a flashcube for the 1st time, took 2 pics, then I didn't know how to pull the cube out, So I turned it the opposite way to see if this would let me take it out.. I ended up pulling it out.. was this the right way to do it? now everytime I put a cube (new) and try to turn it (as instructed) it doesnt stop in a fix position as before. It also makes a clicking sound for every turn.

When the sound comes out, it sort of "locks" for a second but then the cube is not in a symmetric position (as it should). I already tried different cubes... did I mess up my camera? what was the right way to take the flashcube out?

does the fuji packfilm work with a polaroid 320 land camera?

[FilmPhotographyTube]

@RecordGuy3434 Hi, Yes it does. You want Fujifilm FP-100c (color) or FP-3000b (bw). A few films have been discontinued but occasionally you can still find packs - Fujifilm FP-100b (BW) or Polaroid 664 (bw)

Can you explain to us novices what is the darken/lighten switch for and how to use it on a colorpack II? What is the equivalent of the darken/lighten switch on a digital or manual camera? maybe you could do another video with the answer?

I finally got a Colorpack II . Mine is an Int. Version. Check it out at youtube.com/watch?v=yFZDCd8tSn­Q

Oh my god thanks =) i got a polaroid square shooter and i need some tutorial to use...the cameras are very similar so...thank you very much!.

Hi, is the color pack better at taking pictures compared to the EE100 Special /ProPack/ Reporter? I ask because I like the fact that is uses 2AA batteries.  Thanks

[FilmPhotographyTube]

@buggiala The EE100 Special / Pro Pack / Reporter all take a similar image compared to the Polaroid Colorpack II camera. All use AA batteries.

i Have a colorpack 80 but fp100c film is too big :( is there any film that will fit with my cam? .. also what other cameras work with the fuji FP-100c???

I recently got a Polaroid Colorpack II and I have FP-100C loaded in it. I have the ISO set on 75, no flashcube, exposure on "lighten", but when I'm outside taking a photo during the day, the picture comes out nothing but black (p.s. there's no lens cap or anything or at least nothing blatantly obstructing the view). Am I doing something wrong or is it the camera or film?

[FilmPhotographyTube]

@rheemix Hi, Sounds like the camera is not getting power. You must have batteries in the camera in order to get an exposure. Check the battery compartment and make sure there is no corrosion.

@FilmPhotographyTube Fantastic, thank you so much! :)

Will the fp-100 film work with a Polaroid square shooter land camera? Thanks

[FilmPhotographyTube]

@austatarimaster Hello. Sadly, The Polaroid Square Shooter only shoots Type 80 film, which is no longer made. Pick yourself up a Polaroid Colorpack II. Available on e-bay or at our very own Film Photography Store!

I think this is a wonderful supplement to the Film Photography Podcast. Anyone who has seen this video but does't know about the podcast yet needs to get on it.

One thing I'd really love to see if videos are done regularly would be to cover instant film options for old large format press cameras like the Crown Graphic.

Great video, the various types of Polaroid film have always seemed a bit confusing, that really helps.

Thanks

Great video Mike, you've got to do more of these.

The way that the film "cracks and peels" is magic, I can't wait to have a go!

Thanks, Rob.
