Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid conversion
Ray , Thank you for that vote of confidence! The Polaroid 101, 104 and 210 are fairly common and the world will not cry if these camera are altered. The Model 250 has a Zeiss rangefinder like the Model 100 so and this one to your do not destroy list. You may want to try the Positive /Negative pack film 665 which has an ASA/ISO of 75. Expose for the picture and the negative matches it. I love old Polaroids I was fortunate enough to use the roll film Polaroid (Models 800 and 900) before the Black and White roll film was discontinued. Good luck. Tell us of conversion methods.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid conversion
Mike Vande Bunt said: Look for an "Aitomatic 100" pack film camera. The film is still being made and the metal camera body has a tripod socket. I am assuming he meant Polaroid Model 100. Please don't convert a Model 100 because it has a beautiful Zeiss rangefinder that would be rendered usless by the conversion from the Land List website find a cheaper candidate for conversion.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] DIana Camera & Ebay
Andy, The Diana camera was cheap plastic camera that took 16 pictures on 120 roll film. The pictures were nice and little soft but the last incarnation of the box camera without being a box. It's out of production. One hundred dollars seens overly high for nostalgia. I wish I still had mine.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] 127 film?
Murray, You bought a filmless classic. The 127 film was discontinued by Kodak in the mid-90s. It took 8 pictures with a negative tha gave a wallet sized contact print it could also take 12 square pictures again the dimensions I do not recall. It fell out of favor due to the 126 film cartridge. James Johnston
Re: [pinhole-discussion] 120-220-620 film? Oatmeal part II
The 120 fiilm is a roll film that is 2 1/4 in wide when used in a Twin Lens Reflex it usually made 12 2 1/4 in pictures on a roll . This film is paperbacked the length of the entire roll. It could also make 16 pictures on a roll. The exact size I do not recall but smaller that 2 1/4 in square. The 620 film is identical to 120 film except I HAD a narrower lip on the spool. The idea been tha smaller cameras could bee produced. It is no longer made. I have some rolls of 620 Verichrome Pan(ASA 125) from the '70s have not used yet. The 220 film is twice as long as 120. This allows 24 pictures on a roll. It has a paper backing at the beginning of the roll and at the end of the roll. I hope this helps! James Johnston

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Camera construction - tripod socket
Take another piece of half inch plywood the same size as the camera bottom and drill a hole large enough for the 1/4-20 nut to fill it. Nail or screw the new piece of plywood to the camera bottom then epoxy the nut in the hole. The result should be more than sufficient for your camera. James Johnston
Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid p/n film
Mickey, Yes, Type 665 is the P/N pack film Good Luck James
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid P/N film
Stom, Polaroid P/N Type 55 film is the type that you must expose for either the negative or the print. It is an either or proposition. The Polaroid P/N pack film (the number of which I can't remember) is not an either or proposition. The print and negative will match. James Johnston james...@aol.com
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Hardware geeks
In defense of hardware geeks, different people photograph different things. Some subjects others photograph do not interest me. However, we may have a common ground in regard to the hardware used and we might find be able to share techniques that improve both our respective photographs. Not every hardware geek expects the latest hardware to improve his photograph or his eye. New hardware might make the capture of an image easier. I started taking picture with my mother's Kodak Brownie Special. The cutest little Bakelite camera taking 8 pictures on 127 roll film. I learned to develop film and make contact prints and later enlargements because I used that camera. When I got my Lubitel 2 I talked shutter speeds and f-stops. I did the same when I got my Exa 1a. Never did I forget that my eye and my brain were essential to a good photograph. There are many nitwits who assume that the more expensive the camera the better. Remember those folks probabily did even read the instruction manual. So don't abuse us hardware geeks-we're not all stupid. James Johnston
