Cooking with Light Leaks

Another from my first "roll" with a medium format. Actually a pack of Fuji FP100c that I am using on a Mamiya RB67 and Polaroid back. It appears I get a pretty wicked light leak if I extract the dark slide completely, so I can't just take it out and leave it out when I'm shooting. This is a problem because there is no safety to prevent one from releasing the shutter and wasting sheets when the slide is in.
Equipment Used
Mamiya RB67 Sekor 90mm C
Exposure
f3.8 at 1/15 sec
Film & Developer
Fuji Instant FP100c
Really nice picture.With the slide in the RB always stops you from taking a picture. There is a pin that cannot push past the darkslide so the camera should not be taking pictures with darkslide in.

That, sadly, is not true with the Polaroid back. It doesn't use the rotating back adapter or connect to the safety (at least the version I have). I have pulled enough unexposed sheets to drive me crazy. But I am learning! And I am really liking the results I'm getting with instant film on this setup. My luck with the FP3000b hasn't been nearly as good. After really enjoying the first pack of 100 color, I only got 1 useable picture from that pack.
 
I'd say you've had a touch of serendipity :smile: The light leak just adds that "something" to the photo. I quite like it - light leak or not!
 
I find that the FP3000 is a pain. You have to watch your developing times. If I remember they are a lot shorter than the fuji color.
 
You might call it "Cooking with light leeks." "Leeks vs Leaks", if you like that sort of cute thing. :smile:
