Turn Photos Into Polaroid Prints

The photos turn out very nice. The Polaroid cameras are funner to play with but the Fujifilm instant photos look much better.

I take a lot of photos of people and always try to give my subjects prints, and with the impossibility of polaroid and typical expense of printing, this set is a very good solution. Prints are made swiftly and with near perfect quality. The colors are sometimes a bit off from what is seen on the screen, but there's always some finagling to be done in printing photos.

I use them to store photos, polaroid and negatives.

If your looking for a glossy paper, this is the one to get. Prints turn out just as expected.

Using a polaroid filter with a plastic lens hood is near impossible and if you can figure out a way to turn the filter, you get fingerprints all over it. With the Heliopan lens hood, you screw it into the polaroid filter and then the filter into the camera. Then, when you adjust the polaroid, you just turn the rubber lens hood. Problem solved.

Like all things Polaroid, this is a challenge to use. Double exposures can only be automatic, so you have to make sure the metering sensor at the bottom of the lens can see while you half-press the shutter; then you can rotate the filter to your desired orientation, perhaps refocus by rotating the selector dial left, then finally shutter. I had to pluck the handle off so I could rotate the filter the whole way around. And I recommend using a silver or white marker to mark the outer rim of the filter that lets light through. If you don't do that, you have to turn the camera towards you to set the orientation while holding the shutter half-pressed. Plus, if you screw the filter all the way down, it binds a little when you try to rotate it with one hand, which of course you must; so I recommend leaving it a turn unscrewed. This may sound like a 3-star review, but I'm just so glad I didn't have to figure out how to 3D print something to make double exposures easy.

Prints great photos!

I really like how photos turn out on this film. Negatives scan really well, too.

I love the look of instant prints but don't like the results from the Instax/Polaroid cameras. This nifty little printer is the perfect solution. It is easy to operate, portable and decent quality. I bought two more for my kids for Christmas. They wanted to steal mine! The only downside is the cost of film.

These holders were meant for Polaroid prints or negatives which tended to be a bit larger than standard 4x5 negatives.  They have plenty of room for 4x5 negatives and easily store you 4x5 contact proofs if you happen to cut the sheet a little off (the varied size is not a problem.
