Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about a recently acquired A-Power "instant filmholder for holga 120" Polaroid back.
I bought the back off of ebay used at a price that was too good to pass up. It came with the box, the back, a stick on viewfinder and lens as well as the darkslide.
I finally loaded a pack of FP 100c in it today and took several shots. I tried 3 with the slip on lens and I was impressed at how "sharp" the shots came out... I took another shot without the included lens and well, I'll call that shot an artistic blur of sorts (ha ha).
Anyhow, here is my main question... I noticed that the shots that I took when I used the slip on lens that the images all had an excessive vignette (see examples). So much so that I almost can't make out the right side where the image is cropped off center. Now what I want to know is if there are any users of the same A-Power back that experience the vignetting. I tried pushing the lens on as far as it would go so I am pretty sure it's not that.
I'm using the back with a 120 CFN model Holga.
Oh, my 2nd question was - does anyone have a copy of the instructions that came with the back that would be willing to share ? - that's the only thing I'm missing from mine.
Thanks in advance!
