But after looking at the Fuji website and some googling, I can't find anything. Anyone now a link to a manual for this holder?:confused: Before I ruin a pack of instant film tring to figure it out myself. Since, according to some other pages I have been reading, it takes the same type of film as the Fuji PA-45 holder, this manual is probably of use to the Fuji holder as well: Dead Link Removed More info appreciated. I have one other question also: How long to develop the FP-500B45 film. I ordered it directly from Japan via Megaperls( Dead Link Removed ), as it can not be bought here in the Netherlands. I guesse the 15 means 15 seconds at 25C, but here in the Netherlands, a 20C recommendation would be more welcome. Anyone have a clue?Here is a link to the PDF of the pack film manual on the Polaroid site: JohnHere is a link to the PDF of the pack film manual on the Polaroid site: John Click to expand. I have now been reading it, and yes it is of some help, I now better understand how the pack film actually works. Unfortunately though, the document still doesn't clearly show how to load the pack film into the holder, nor does it clearly show how to open it for cleaning (and of course my holder is the Fuji one, which may operate slightly different in terms of disassembling). Well, maybe I should just give it a try and it will become more clear when I open my pack of instant film, but any more hints highly appreciated!It shows a nice conversion of a Polaroid Super Shooter instant camera into a pinhole by Micheael Pastur.
At the end of part two, there is also some live usage of instant film and the disassembling and cleaning of the rollers (of course from the camera and not my specific holder) that is again of some usage in understanding how to use this type of film and holders: Part 1: Part 2: It's based on the Polaroid 405 instant pack film holder, but it shows everything I needed to know (but be patient for the last 1.30 minutes, because these show the actual loading of the pack film): Enjoy! It's good stuff. Just bear in mind that the exposure latitude is small, so meter wisely!See how it goes. MarcoI have used a Polaroid 4x5 holder before, and Polaroid had a good manual for it.

Like its medium format cousin, the Graflok 45 system allows an accessory back to be mounted to the back of a large format camera and latched into place via two sliders. It is used by many camera makers. What follows is a general guide to the sorts of backs that are designed to be mounted to Graflok 45 cameras. Due to the ubiquity and longevity of this mounting format, and variety of uses to which it has been put, this is not a comprehensive list of all backs in existence, but rather a representative list of what to look for.
Every Graflok 45 camera ever produced can accept sheet film holders in some manner. Most cameras include a spring back system that utilizes heavy springs to hold a Sheet Film Holder in place when one is inserted. Small, lightweight cameras such as the Travelwide and Mercury do not contain spring backs, but can use rubber bands or other means to hold sheet film holders (which are quite light) in place. Mercury has an optional spacer that can be inserted to convert its Graflok sliders to latch to film holders rather than Graflok accessories. The photographer must remove the holder from the camera, flip it over, and re-insert it to explose the second sheet. Each side contains a darkslide to protect the film until it is ready to be exposed. Sheet film holders must be loaded by hand in complete darkness (either a changing bag or darkroom). This remains the cheapest way to get into large format shooting. Later plastic holders were made by Lisco, Fidelity, Riteway, and Toyo. Lisco and Fidelity are actually the same company. Riteway was Graflex’s brand. In practice, some photographers prefer wooden holders (purported to be flatter in some tests, if not subjected to moisture over time), and some prefer plastic holders (newer, lighter, with sometimes easier loading mechanisms, but more prone to static attraction of dust). Fidelity and Toyo still manufacture and sell film holders. These had the advantage of using true Graflok backs and not requiring hand loading. To shoot a shot, you simply slip one of the light-tight sleeves into the holder, withdraw its darkslide, and expose the frame. It can then be removed, still in its protective sleeve. The disadvantage of this system was simply cost: not only did you have to purchase the special Graflok back, but also the expensive film packs. Both Kodak and Fuji discontinued these systems in the mid-2000s. Expired film can still be purchased, but is quite expensive.
New55 still produces black and white negative “ready loaded” film, but it is made to work in Polaroid 545 holders (see below) rather than QuickLoad or ReadyLoad backs. Instead of withdrawing and flipping sheet film holders, a single Graflok 45 pack film adapter could accept a pack of film containing 16 sheets of film, all taped together and attached to paper tabs. The tabs stick out the side of the pack adapter. The pack adapter itself has a single darkslide that is used normally when you wish to expose a frame. After each exposure, you pull the frame’s tab to cycle it to the back of the pack and move the next sheet into place. The major disadvantages of this format was that the film was much thinner than large format sheet film and had to bend around severe corners, making it much less flat than sheet film. You typically had to finish a whole pack of film before you could develop your shots (although it is possible, if you are careful, to open the pack adapter in the dark and “rob” some frames from the back of the pack). The adapters themselves are also plentiful and cheap, and can be re-purposed to hold items other than packfilm, such as glass or tin plates. The photographer simply pulled out the large handle on the right side to expose a frame. To cycle to the next shot, close the handle, grasp the catch with your thumb, and open it again. Then close the handle. The next frame is now loaded and ready to shoot, but behind the “darkslide.” Repeat for each frame. Once you get the hang of it, you can cycle through frame very quickly (faster than roll film).This was a big deal back in the press days. Only pack film was faster. No need to figure out which holders have been exposed, which have been unloaded, etc. Here, you shoot until all six sheets are exposed, then unload it all at once. It’s just a bit bulkier than a single film holder, but it holds three times as many shots! The Grafmatic is clamped onto the camera via the the Graflok system.
Thus it works without modification with the Mercury camera. (Note that the Grafmatic could also be used with a spring back on old Graflex cameras, without the need of a Graflok back. This makes it extremely versatile.) You could open up the Grafmatic in the dark and “rob” it of an exposed shot to develop, but this is not recommended, as you would have to find the exact sheet you want and leave the others in the proper order. Then the frame counter would no longer accurately tell you when all of your sheets are exposed, either. The other downside is that these are more difficult to load than sheet film holders, which are a real cinch. The correct sized Grafmatic is labeled “45” on the front (though some very late models, with red lettering on the front, are only labeled with the exact size on the underside, in stamped black letters that are hard to read). The Grafmatic is a true Graflok back (unlike standard sheet film holders), holds six frames in a single compact back, and allows for rapid cycling between them.A lever allowed each septum to be ejected into the bag. The photographer would then need to maneuver it back into the holder at the back of the stack. These are to be avoided unless you really enjoy a challenge. The advantage is that they could hold twice as many sheets of film as the later Grafmatic.The most common are the Graphic 22 and 23 (earlier knob wind backs) and the RH-8, RH-10, and RH-20 (later lever wind backs). Graflex also released a later 70mm back, the RH-50 (yes, it can shoot 50 shots per roll!). This doesn’t matter at smaller apertures (larger f-stop numbers), but can make a difference when shooting fast lenses wide open. For that reason, lever-wind backs fetch a higher price on the used market. All of these back do a good job shooting roll film. They are also significantly more expensive. Still, Horseman’s 8 EXP back is also very highly recommended.
This was unique, as their medium format cameras utilized a proprietary back standard (not Graflok 23), so their medium format roll film backs are not compatible with the Graflok standard, but their large format backs are. Nonetheless, these backs are far more rare and tend to be fairly costly. They are also very heavy and use an awkward loading system. In general, not recommended. You can adjust it all the way down to a 6 x 4.5 frame size. I haven’t used one. Some complain about film flatness, and mechanical problems after switching formats.The frame size is approximately 6.5 x 9, making it the largest exposure available on 70mm film. Each sheet of instant film is protected by a light-tight sleeve, with an integrated darkslide. To use the holder, flip the large lever to “L” (for Load) and slide the film sleeve in until it catches on the internal catch. Then pull the sleeve’s internal darkslide to expose the film to the camera’s light path. After you have taken your shot, close the darkslide, flip the holder’s lever to “P” (for Process), and pull the sleeve out of the holder. It will now pass through the rollers, developing the film. This is peel-apart film, so once you’ve waited the appointed time, remove the film from the sleeve and peel the negative and positive sides apart to reveal your image. Polaroid made a range of films for this format, but all were discontinued in 2009. The most legendary was Type 55, which produced a usable negative as well as a positive image. This film can be purchased today at www. new55. net and shot with this holder. Highly recommended. It is slightly less durable, but much lighter, and thus recommended. The 545 Pro was even more advanced, incorporating an electronic timer to help you know how long to process each sheet, as well as an integrated thermometer (as temperature affects development time). Definitely overkill!
Like Graflex’s old Pack Film Adapter, these backs accepted packs of film, each frame of which could be cycled through by pulling paper tabs that stuck out the side of the back. In this case, however, the film was peel-apart instant film. The back contains a set of internal rollers, and when you pull the tab, you actually pull the shot out of the back and through the rollers, initiating the development process. Both Polaroid and Fuji made film packs and film adapters, and the two were interchangeable. Polaroid shuttered its operations in 2009. It is still available used for very high prices online. The Polaroid 405 and Fuji PA-145 were Graflok 45 holders for this type of packfilm. Fuji continued to make the PA-145 and FP-100C film for it until 2016. The film, as well as the 2014 discontinued FP0300B black and white film in this format, are still readily available used online. A proper mask must be made for your ground glass. There are various exploratory efforts underway to try to reintroduce 100 series pack film. We can only hope that one day it will happen! This allows you to take stitched panoramas simply by taking an exposure at each of several shifted positions. This will only work with non-moving subjects, but can produce stunning results with patience. This is an Instax Wide back that includes its own crank-driven developing system. Two versions of the kit are available: a simpler kit that lacks a darkslide system, and a more complex one that includes it. Both shift the focus plane back 20mm. Unfortunately, the Belair Instant Back has been discontinued, and it is difficult to find it today. The Mercury 45 Ground Glass Back can, of course, be used on any Graflok 45 capable camera.

After Polaroid released the SX-70 in 1972, Fujifilm started preliminary research on instant films. Meanwhile, Kodak also released their competing instant photo products in 1976. They also felt that Polaroid's square image were unusual and made images hard to reproduce. Consumers preferred Kodak's rectangular instant prints, but the desired print quality was still an issue. In light of these concerns, the cost of instant prints was also seen as high (when imported into Japan). This caused many to initially invest in an instant film system and abandoning them soon after. Fujifilm wanted to change that.Industrial, medical and scientific products started testing at the same time, but were released a few years later. In Japan, integral films, packfilms and instant cameras have all been branded as Fotorama (?????). The name Fotorama came from photo graph and pano rama. I can't find any definitive reason why its spelled with a F. Most likely F for Fuji, as they did not want their instant product to start with a P like Polaroid. They were trying to produce a less proprietary instant film system compared to Polaroids and following Kodak has always been the standard. Their network of photo labs were updated to make it easier for consumer to make reprints. In regards to photo quality Fuji decided to have electronic flash standard on every camera, as well as producing a film and chemistry with results that the Japanese preferred. Unlike Kodak, all their cameras were to have automatic electronic film ejection.Along with their own patents Fuji obtained a nonexclusive licencing agreement with Kodak for their instant film and instant camera patents. Fuji uses their own unique films and chemistries and are somewhat compatible, with Kodak being 150 ISO, while Fotorama was 160 ISO.
In a majority of the original Kodak and Fuji cameras, exposure controls were able to compensate for the different ISO speeds, but was generally not necessary for such a small difference. While not 100 percent identical, the technology of Fotorama integral films developed similar to Kodak 's with the back layer first. This presented a major problem for Fujifilm because of the ongoing litigation between Polaroid and Kodak. Polaroid also had a separate suit with Fujifilm over their instant film patents in Japan.The introduction of the System 800 broke compatibility with Kodak's instant system because of a slightly re designed cartridge as well as a higher ISO film that made it hard for Kodak instant cameras to expose the film properly.It was discontinued after only a few short years. The Instax Wide format was also available initially, but saw very limited distribution in the US. Instax was officially a dead product in the American consumer market, but flourished in the Japanese market. The picture quality is similar to the System800 and InstantACE but in different sized formats. The film cartridges work similar to the instantACE system with no spring in the cartridge. In September 2016, a monochrome Instax Mini film was announced.The original plan was to produce a series of digital instant cameras. The idea was similar to the Olympus C-211, a digital camera with a built-in Polaroid 500 film printer. While a stand alone printer was planned, it was not originally the primary focus. The release of Instax pivi was made available for those who wanted to print from their mobile phone via IR and later models supporting USB. Instax pivi film looks physicality identical to Instax mini, but it takes a different formulated film producing an inverted image when used in a mini camera. In 2014, the Instax Share SP-1 printer was released. It uses standard Instax mini film and can print via wifi from mobile phones and tablets.
In 2016, the Instax Square format was announced and released in the spring of 2017.They can be used in all compatible cameras and holders as well as Fuji's PA-145 holder which mounts on 4x5 cameras and is similar to Polaroid 405 holder.Fujifilm made pack film for their passport camera systems, available since 1984. Fuji packfilm was generally not too well known outside Japan, until the disappearance of the the films made by Polaroid under their better-recognized brand. Super is an improved version with a development time of 30 seconds, while Super Speedy can develop as fast as 15 seconds. In many markets these terms were not used or advertised on the boxes; but they are often mentioned on the inner foil packs. In 1995, FP-500b45 was released and designed specifically for SEM and CRT.This also reduces the weight of the pack by 15%. This decision was not the best for usability as it caused many jamming issues as the pressure of the springs caused the plastic to bend more with the first exposures on older Polaroid cameras. Newer backs generally don't have this issue. The newer revision has better long exposure performance in low light with improved color balance, along with a more stable fade resistance print.They started with having more variety of pack film available. In November 2008 the Instax Wide format was introduced in the US with the Instax 200 camera. Instax mini series of cameras and films were reintroduced and became available in the US during the second half of 2009, with the mini 7s, also an updated Instax 210 replaced the Instax 200. Fujifilm's FP-100b45 was announced in Sept of 2009 for the US market. Discontinuation of FP-100B, FP-400B and FP-500B in 2009, with the last shipments in March. FP-3000b45 arrived in the North American market in Jan 2011, after Fujifilm Japan stopped manufacturing FP-100b. The last batch of FP-100c45 has an expire date of July 2014.Images by Studioesper ( Image rights ).
