My sense of timing is, as ever,

... perfect.

Just days before Polaroid announced they were shutting down production of their eponymous instant-film, I bid on ebay for a Polaroid film back (so I can use instant film with my LF camera). I have been chasing various 545 film backs (taking Polaroid 'Type 5x' sheet film) but they always went up to silly prices (and the film isn't cheap either). I therefore started looking at the 405 back. It takes a smaller image - 3.25 x 4.25 inches (in a pack of 10 pictures) - but it will allow me the instant feedback on my pictures that I desire.

Better LF

I know that this is getting a little repetitive, but I am still enjoying the whole Large-Format-Photography experience - this is my favourite recent pic, this time scanned from a contact-print, so it has a bit more punch. Unfortunately my jpeg-editing has darkened it a little too much, but hey - the web isn't a medium for high art!
