A 4x5 sort of halloween

[TimmyMac]

Thought I'd share my adventures with a Busch Pressman.

Press photog is an easy costume to put together, and the results were spectacular. I hacked the guts from a Vivitar 283 into an old Graflite flashgun. Shot mostly polaroids and gave them away (people were shocked to see this contraption was functional), but also brought 2 film holders. Focusing via rangefinder. Forgive the questionable scans, the prints are better!

You're a bit close to Freddie Mercury in that first shot!

Viva Polaroid (I mean Fuji)

Great Job ! Really sharp lens. I'm jealous. Imagine ..... instant photos that you don,t have to run through a printer! I've always wondered "Why can't I see them now" .... I'll have to look into this new, instant stuff. lol

The polaroids aren't half as detailed as those two film shots I posted. Blew those up to 16x20 - razor sharp. Completely out of place for party photos

The first shot on 35mm NPZ isn't quite as nice

Excellent! Propably one of the coolest things to do for Halloween and Carnival. And Louis Mendes gets to do that for a living!

 

[Sirius Glass]

Get those press cameras out there! People need to see that film lives!

Looks like it doesn't do you any harm with the ladies either...
