Hey all of you Polaroid lovers out there, I have a perfect use for empty Polaroid film packs.
When I coat my film, I cut it to the right size and put one sheet in each pack. I can then put that pack in my Polaroid back and when I remove the dark slide I can expose it with my RZ67 or Bronica.
Some of the pictures I've posted were shot that way.
In the same way, you can buy cut sheets of film in the same size as the back or you can cut down sheet film to fit.
The pack pops open at the exit end with mild pressure and leaves a lip that acts as a guide to help you slide film into the pack. Then gentle pressure and the pack metal edges reseal.
These are not light tight and only have 1 sheet / pack, but I carry a bunch of them around and use them filled with my own film and they work just fine. And, if you don't want to use them, send them to me.
Oh, BTW, with properly cut glass, they can act as glass plate holders too.
