Yes, I'd be very interested. Thanks, I have 5 Polaroid Packfilm cameras, some good and some slightly better than good. So I'd like to see the difference.

Wowww, what a beauty! The modification would interest me a lot...!
Yesterday my first try with my 3 days ownership Land 180 took place near the floods of the Rhine river in Coblenz.
A feeling like Venice in winter.....
Poor people having the water in their homes.
After this shot the boys asked me to photograph them. It was as in the past....

Who did the modifications?
The modificaton was done by Patrick Putze.
Here the first two pictures:
DOF at about 0.9 m and f/4.7:

and a crop:

Now I did the same at f/16, the sharpness is much higher but the resulution is still not good enought to show the mm - scale clearly at a distanc of 0.9 m.
At with aperture would you expect the maximum sharpness of the Rodenstock Ysarex (it is a tessar type). I would guess somewhere between f/11 - f/22.
And do you know the resolution of the FP-100C film?
But besides absolute sharpness, it can give you nice pictures:

(more to come)

The same picture as above with f/16:
And the crop:
I think that the image resulution here ist limited by the film emulsion.

I've got a 180 and a 195 and have always thought they'd make a fine 4x5. I'm not mechanically gifted so never planned to do it. sadly, with the withdrawal of Polaroid and the lack of distribution of Fuji here in Canada and elsewhere, I can see a lot of excellent Polaroid cameras hitting the junk yards.

This is an 'as is' aution but they always have Polaroids, and they are cheap:

$26 bid for a 250. Maybe there is still value in that crate of pack film cameras I've got stashed. I used them for teaching photogrpahy. I was about to send them to goodwill as I'm cleaning out.

$26 is not bad for 250. The zeiss finder is great. I got a few 250 just for the finder parts. You see people sell the finder alone on ebay for more than $50.

Here some new pictures with my polaroid 110A/B:
These two with FP-100C:
f/5.6 1/30 s (if i remember right)
f/4.7 1/60 s
And here my first image with the FP-3000B film at available light:
f/5.6 1/15 s
Sorry for the poor scanning quality.

Thomas, those look great. Some people don't like FP100c, I do. To me it is in the same class as kodachrome. I don't know if it is still there but B&H had it for $7.50.

I used to have a 110A converted to 120 roll film, with mask for 6x9 and 6x12. It was a neat concept, but couldn't get right focus or sharpness even at f/11 or f/16. I just cannot compare the slides to a Fujica GSW690. It is quite compact when folded down, but not particularly easy to handheld stably when opened. Eventually I gave up. Hope you guys have a better conversion!
