I just want to shoot one pack so I can say I have shot pack film.I think this would be a hassle with a pinhole camera.

Thank you for the offer. Unfortunately I am far away from western PA so that would not be an option. I think I am going to get some FP100C and try it. I hope it will work with my Instax wide camera setup. Any other advice? I want to get good results.@IlfordFan - Your profile doesn't say where you are in the US, but if you're anywhere near western PA I might be able to shoot with you for an afternoon or such and let you use my Polaroid back that takes the Fuji100C. I have enough of it left that I'm not willing to sell the holder, though. I might have a Polaroid camera that takes it, too, but I haven't used it so it might not work.
Funny! I think the Instax Wide will work.In that case maybe you could squeeze the pod with the heel of your shoe.
Who said that the process is not fun in the dark using a decades too up to date camera to process the film? I have worked with Instax wide film, Instax square film, Instax mini film, and Impossible film in the dark before. It's quite thrilling!However, and I think others who have used pack film will agree, there's a certain amount of enjoyment in the process: inserting the pack, pulling the tabs, waiting to separate the film
Good idea!Another option would be to ruin one exposure and do a dry run in full light to see how feasible processing the film is in your Instax Wide.
It's not a bad idea, you can only see how well it works once you go and try it. To me the main challenges/tricky spots will be trying to "assemble" the film and paper together in the dark and feeding them through the top of the opened Instax camera to pull through, and hoping that it gives the proper pressure to break the pod and develop the photo.Good idea!
Would anyone here actually try to process FP100C in an Instax Wide? Am I downright crazy?
Are you planning to try it? If so, let me know how it goes. I am quite concerned about getting the film and paper together. Do you know if they are adhered together?To me the main challenges/tricky spots will be trying to "assemble" the film and paper together in the dark and feeding them through the top of the opened Instax camera to pull through, and hoping that it gives the proper pressure to break the pod and develop the photo.
I've done a similar experiment but used a Packfilm camera to do the developing - even then, the quality of the pulls was hit and miss...
. Thank you for your advice. If you give this a try let me know and please post scans of the results. Thank you for your help.I have maybe 6 unshot frames of FP-100C left and I might be willing to give this a try. At the least, I have a cartridge with dried out materials that I can maybe test the premise with for a dark (literally) dry run.
I would totally try it! But I am the one who wanted to modify a disposable camera to shoot half frame.Would anyone here actually try to process FP100C in an Instax Wide? Am I downright crazy?
. I wonder if you could tape the sheets together.They are separate legs aligned in a V that meets at the pulls. The cartridge is designed to bring the two parts (negative and paper) together in alignment when pulled through the rollers to develop the negative and transfer the image to the paper.
