Dear all;
I just got a Polaroid holder for my 4X5 converted Polaroid. I shot some nudes with it today, and scanned them.
The first one is raw, the other 4 are edited.
Clearly, not work safe, and if nudes offend you, don't look.

The camera is a Polaroid 900. I had it converted to a 4X5 by Steve at Aplenahus cameras. http://alpenhause.com/2.html.
There are any number of companies/guys out there who can do this commercially. One of them is quite infamous for rants and getting banned from discussion boards! There are three others who I actually contacted, and who build their own backs vs just putting a graflock back on the camera. One of the constraints that I had is I wanted to get the camera this year, and although he has excellent marketing and conversions, Dean @ razzledog http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~razzle/, has a waiting list, and shipping does add a bit as the cameras are from Oz.
The lens is a Prinz 150mm, and the cam on the camera has been ground so that the range finder is accurate. I'm pretty sure the lens is a re-badged Congo, but the information is hard to come by on the net. In hind sight, I really should have just got a modern Schnieder /Fuji/Calitar, I think the coatings are better.
The spring back allows any number of cool toys to be mounted, including a polaroid back that accepts Fuji film. That is the Fuji version of the peel apart polaroid that was discontinued when they went under. I will be getting the HP5 from my grafmatic developed soon. For some reason, I have been having trouble doing this is my daylight tank, so these will be sent out.
The shots are all ISO 100, F11 or so, with a single studio strobe on an overahed mount with a beauty dish.
The scans are of the photos, althouth there are ways to get at the negative from this film, it is not pos/neg film.
Please feel free to ask more questions if this did not answer yours.
