Polaroid Conversions

If any of you have dealt with Nate from Polaroid Conversions, there is a nice article about him on SnapIt/SeeIt.

I have a 110 A/B conversion from him.

I have ordered parts from him before. Great guy, he's helped me (for free) to answer many of the questions about modifying my own land cameras.
He also helped me track down a very hard to find f90 cap for the 110.

Very knowledgable guy!

If you are supplying your own camera, it might be worth it to spend the money now on a 110B instead of the A. The integrated RF is a huge plus.

Good read, I almost bought one of those conversions, but ended up getting a 'real' 4x5 camera. I do wonder if I made the right call, the Polaroid one is so much more portable, and I'm certainly I'd use it more.

Very nice. I've been talking to Nate recently about sending my 195 for some wood grips.

Nate puts a 900 single window rangefinder on the A making it into a B. That is what he means by the A/B. That is what I got from him.

I have toyed with the idea of converting a Polaroid camera to 6x12 format (120 Film)...

Converting a Polaroid roll film camera (such as 110A/B) into 6x12 is not too difficult. I had someone in LA do the conversion for me, and got decent results from it. Search around and you should be able to find a few options. Mine from LA is not particularly precise in machining, so the focus was a bit off and the edges a bit rough.
