Just that- I have 2, one for a 4x5 camera and one for a horseman 6x9. Does anyone still use these, or find cool alternate uses?

You could buy the pack film that they are designed for if you don't mind spending a lot of money on a few shots of expired instant film.

You could get a few shots of recent manufacture peel apart film from the.supersense.com/collections/instant-photography but it's 49 euro for 3 shots and it doesn't produce a usable negative. Though you might need to act quickly to get it because they only make small batches and not very frequently.

I used to use a similar back to single load sheets of new polaroid 600 in a darkbag but you'll need a compatible camera to process the film once you shoot it. It's a whole process but it's pretty fun if you like that kind of stuff.

Thanks- sounds like they'd be good candidates for the auction-block! :smile:
