Anyone tried using Polaroid 250 or 350 with Fuji FP-100?

Seems to work well enough

I recall some flickr posters mentioning the first two or three shots in the pack (when used in this camera) are very tight to pull out, so much that the tab breaks off. One poster found that something in the back of the camera needed to be eased. Iirc, he meant a locator, or packing spring, whatever, to reduce pressure on the Fuji pack.

Now I got 2 of them. First have to get 4,5 V battery to check if shutters work.

Don't need 2 Polaroids, so thinking if other could be converted to sheet film .. it could be used as a one-shot camera by inserting the film into old pack but then it would be really slow photography. Smile

EDIT: actually they could be more films if one changed the cassettes in black bag.

You could lay a sheet of film directly in the back and close it. It works for the Polaroid 110, but needs a changing bag for more than one shot, obviously.

I have a 250 and a 320 Both work fine with fuji film. It's an easy fix to pull the battery junk out and attach two AAA's to the wires. 3 or 4 bucks at Radioshack for the battery holders.

Got it finally working!

Exposure is still a bit off.

What should I do with the "negative". Should it be of some use. The back is totally black, does it come off somehow?
