Polaroid 110A/B 3d printed 4x5 conversion kit instructions (English and German)
Polaroid 110A / 110B 4x5 Conversion kit. A 3d printed 4x5 conversion kit complete with all parts, including acrylic ground glass, screws and springs for the Polaroid 110A and 110B. Fully usable on the more affordable Polaroid 110A without any need to replace the viewfinder! However it will clip a few millimeters of the negative (see image) but still a BIG negative in a Point And Shoot Rangefinder camera! Full online instructions (English and German) for the conversion and calibration process will be provided. You will not be able to return to starting position. Rangefinder are tested and adjusted if required as part of the instructions, as well as setting a new infinity stop to ensure correctly focus when using the rangefinder. Focusing and composing using the groundglass with camera on tripod when needed. The kit is complete with all required parts, i. 3d printed parts, screws, springs and acrylic groundglass.
You need to provide a Polaroid 110 camera and some basic tools. Dremel, drillbits, plier, 2mm hexkey, hobby knife etc. Normally the the filmholder clamps are provided in a red material, however all black is available at no extra cost, just let me know in a message. This setup is for the standard double film holder, as it provides the simplest and most lightweight option.
However a variation for Grafmatic and rollfilmholderes are available for a small additional cost (10USD). A experimental version for the Polaroid 405 holder is also available at the same cost as the grafmatic back option. Camera and film holders used for illustration purpose ONLY and NOT included in the kit. Also note that its a 3d printed camera, thus it will be fully functional but might have minor surface "defects" / artifacts from the production process.
User experience from a user for whom I have converted a Polaroid 110A and two Polaroid 110Bs. Mortons Conversion Polaroid 110 A and B brings the best of both worlds together. I worked with large format photography in the studio and also in the field. Dark cloth, ground glass, magnifying glass, and heavy tripods were part of working with large format cameras. With this Conversion Polaroid carrying heavy. Is a thing of the past. Street photography is another creative field I'm working in and rangefinder cameras were always my go-to gear. I worked with both cameras: the 110A has an enjoyable large viewfinder for focussing - similar to a Leica IIIg (two separate finders for focussing and framing). A very convenient feature on the A is that if you forgot taking off the lens cap, you can't release the shutter because the camera is locked. This feature is not included in the B model. Also the A model is half the price of the B. With the B model you can shoot like with a modern M-Leica and the result is a large format negative. All other features on A and B are the same. Thank you Morton, for giving us photographers a useful tool and thousands of working cameras a new purpose.The item "Polaroid 110A/B 3d printed 4x5 conversion kit instructions (English and German)" is in sale since Thursday, January 2, 2020.
