Old-style Polaroid photography

That is really really neat. And I am always in awe of your skill in knowing what to do next to fix these things.

Remind me when we get together Sunday, I have a Polaroid 103, flashgun, copy attachment, and halftone screen for you. (yes, in-camera halftones)

You sort of backed into hipsterville circa 1999. :)

I got tired of hunting down pack film and gave up playing peelies after a while, but I can't quite make myself get rid of the damn things.

Have you checked out "The Impossible Project"? They bought Polaroid's old equipment Europe and are making new film packs for Polaroid cameras (SX-70, 600, Image/Spectra, and 8x10).

Yes, I'm familiar with them, and have used a lot of Impossible Project film in my newer (One Step and SX-70) cameræ. I've enjoyed some of their "factory reject" film, and limited edition stocks too. However, that's a newer technology than this camera and its peel-apart film.

Oh, cool! Wow, getting into Polaroid stuff in the digital age is a way-cool backstep, and it must have been a cool surprise to find that the camera is "a nice Zeiss parallax corrected coupled rangefinder." Here I'd thought that Zeiss lenses lived only in the Leica domain -- or maybe I'm mis-remembering, what with my memory being gunked up. On the Impossible Project film, it's cool to hear about this, after my reading about it several years back but not venturing forward!
