FP3000B Negative vs Positive

[Ezzie]

FP3000B emulsion is coated onto paper, not polyester nor celluloid nitrate or acetate. The negative can only ever be used for scanning, trying to retrieve a transparent negative for regular enlargement is a no-go, no point in trying. Unless you are very good at lifting the emulsion and applying it to transparent plastic (in one piece). In which case you could probably patent the process 😉

looks like solarization is taking hold

Thanks for that and for Ezzie's comments.

Do you have suggestions for combatting this? I could imagine you could peel open the negative in a dark bag but I don't think I'd want to do this. What about leaving the negative/positive together and unpeeled for 5 minutes and then taking them a part?

The latter helps, but is still not enough. You also risk that some of the glossy coating dries to the negative, ruining the finish of the print. I try to remember to bring along a box in which the negs and prints can dry. But also a pair of scissors and a small bag to collect rubbish from cutting off both ends of the negative. There are a few DIY examples to be found on the web, I need to re-engineer mine. Something like this maybe?

Has anyone tried Type 667 negatives?

Scanned paper negative (I know, I treated it really rough. But I kinda like the beat up look and the solarization).

And, the positive - FP3000B in Polaroid Land Automatic 100. Bought the camera years ago on a lark as part of a pretty extensive kit, with portrait set, cloud filter, timers, cable release, etc, all in amazing condition. It's been sitting on a shelf until recently when I bodged it to take AAA batteries. Got a cheap flashlite at Office Depot, 3 pack for $11, which had a round AAA holder which fits the battery compartment of the camera perfectly. Haven't tried any of the filters yet. Waiting for a good day. Been gray and crappy here in East Texas.

I have the same camera and I did the same with the AAA batteries, not the flashlight but a Radio Shack AAA holder. But to the point of my post, I think if you have Goggles attachment for the portrait lens you will really like it. Sorry, off subject of the OP.
