Polaroid Glunz Conversion

[3rdtrick]

One more Polaroid conversion:

This is a Glunz of Hanover 9x12 plate camera. The back was almost the same size as Polaroid so... I was not sure how it would turn out but it actually is quite nice. The Meyer Gorlitz 135 lens has nice color and contrast on the Fuji film and even gets the "Glow" in the pictures.

It is also very compact when folded. I bet this was an awesome camera in 1929.

I will post the pics when I get them scanned.

Hi Pete
It looks very nice. I have a couple of 9x12 cameras, I want to convert to Pack film. Did you have to increase the openong in Polaroid back?

Sam.

I did take the Hassy mask off but no changes to the actual Polaroid back. The opening and film plane aligned up just perfect. If you have a 9x12 film holder, you might try affixing the Polaroid back to that so you can swap it from camera to camera. You may need to adjust the infinity stop or correct in the focus scale if the film plane changes.
