Rollfilm Model Conversions

The first instant print cameras ever created used Polaroid roll film. This kind of film has been out of production for a few decades now. To bring new life to these awesome cameras, a simple conversion to readily available pack film can be attempted.

These documented cameras were my first conversions. There are alot of little details that I put into the cameras I make and sell today that is not shown on this site. Like me you will discover the secrets of the perfect professional conversion when you are happy with your work.
