Appreciate your honesty in not editing out the dark slide failure. FP-100C is a gorgeous film. Wish I didn't have to savor every single sheet I have left in my freezer.
Back in the day, pro photographers would use Polaroid backs to make sure the lighting was good before taking the "real" photo, at least when in controlled studio settings. Makes you wonder what happened to all those test shots.
Hi Erik! Loving your channel, I wanted to tell you about a Kickstarter that is reviving packfilm - the Polaroids that is compatible with the Mamiya RB67! It's called Save Packfilm by doc, make a video please on it as you have a public platform so more people know about it!
Had a great laugh to see you having such fun with 70's technology. Back in the 70's these instant film cameras from Polaroid were the norm. Interesting to see the reaction form you and the staff at the restaurant over what people my age would consider old school tech. It amazes me how much younger people are so blown away by film a technology we all took for granted back in the day. I have been shooting digital for years and never printed a single shot. February I printed my first paper print in over forty years from my digital camera and it felt so weird to have a tactile photograph in my hands. I went and dug out my old Minolta SRT 101 camera I purchased in high school in 1969 and shortly after I became the proud owner of a Mamiya RB67 SD and thinking of getting back into developing film. Now I suppose you get to laugh...lol
I have left the darkslide in my Mamiya 645 Super multiple times Eric! It's just nice to see someone else do it on video! Hahahaha... This is hands down my favorite way to shoot polaroid (with aperture control) using the Mamiya RB67 Pro S. Everytime I shoot with it... It just works every single time! I can't believe you threwaway your negatives! Next time you shoot this Polaroid film, Do not throw away the negative! You can clean the black surface with regular bleach and wash off the black stuff, you now have a large format negative get some really interesting colors and results! Try it! Good visiting with you Eric!
Watching those two so excited in front of the Polaroid made me feel so old, in the 1970's those were so common I cannot remember how many times I had my photos taken with that. The quality seems much better today than in the 70's
It's awesome to see you so excited about something that was once incredibly common. I'm 46 and had my picture taken on Polaroid peel apart 100s of times as a kid but my reaction was the exact same as yours a few weeks ago when I made my first pics on my Land 250. Hopefully, Fuji brings the film back or someone figures out a way to keep manufacturing it.
Haha well I'm 35 next week, so you don't have that many years on me. Honestly, I'd buy some and shoot it as soon as you can, because I doubt very much Fuji will ever bring it back.
I can't even count how many times I forgot to take out the dark slide in the beginning, too. Ha ha ha. The staffs excitement over seeing the process and shots was really contagious, too. Also, if you get tired of holding that thing, OP/Tech's Super Pro Strap (Design B) actually fits the camera without any modification.
I have an RB67 with a Polaroid back. I've still got 6 packs of FP-100 and 4 packs of FP-3000 in my fridge. I've been saving them for a rainy day but this vid has inspired me to shoot some. Very Cool!
I love your reaction! I bought a cheap land camera last year and brought it to a balloon festival. I took some pictures with it and the people and me watch me as if I was doing a magic show! So cool.
The Mamiya polaroid backs are so great! they utilize the whole frame and look so magical-especially compared to the Hasselblad polaroid backs that give a weird 6x6 image that isn't even centered. If you ever happen to find some, the Fuji 100 SILK polaroids are amazing, but unfortunately they are out of production. Im sure its possible to find some on eBay or something but if you get your hands on some you will be blown away, they are by far the most beautiful polaroids ever!
Fun stuff, maybe you already know this : with the FP100c there is no need to peel it apart after time is up. It stops developing by itself, so you can put the exposed shot in a bag and peel it apart later at home, in case you want to keep the negative for scanning. It doesn't work with the BW version ! BTW, cute waitress, the camera loves her natural smile !
RB67 is a rotating back camera. It will take landscape -like the film you had in the video - and it will take portraits. I think you had it on portrait setting. Have a great day!!! Thanks for the videos!
Erik I love the video!!! FP100c is such beautiful film. Try to get a your hands on some FP3000b, it’s been discontinued for sometime, but the results are amazing!!!!
I enjoyed the video Erik! I have only played with peel part instant film in the past, and it was pretty fun to work with. It was certainly much warmer when I shot it though. :-)
So sad they discontinued this film. I had just bought a polaroid back for my RB67 when they announced it. Have about 10 packs left now but didn't wanna waste it on the RB (because it doesn't cover the full frame) so I picked up a Polaroid 600SE to shoot the rest of my stock with. Love FP100c
Great video! If you keep the black portion, you can actually save that, remove the black chemical and you will be left with a negative that you can scan at even higher quality.
There is an alternative way to peel, so that the sticky stuff stays together with the paper in your (left) hand and you actually peel away the photo in your other hand. Doesn’t change the end result though, but is ‘cleaner’ on your hands.
great video. i have a rz67ii with the polaroid back and my image is a 6x6 where yours is MASSIVE. i would have thought the image would be the same on the rb and rz
Hello from Canada - excellent video - I just stumbled upon it. Just curious about metering the light on this camera. I didn’t see you use a light metre, but yet the excellent images turned out great.
Times I did the dark slide number in the past.............. the RZ will not let you shoot with the dark slide still in the film back...... you just forget.
One caveat with taking a photo outside and ducking inside somewhere to develop: the camera and film pack will likely still be too cold for an indoor temperature developing time. You have to wait inside for a while for the camera/film back/film inside to heat up before pulling out the sheet to start developing. I found this out the hardway :(
Would love to find one for a good price for the Pentax, especially given how little chance there's going to be to shoot peel apart in the future. Looks so much better than anything Impossible/Polaroid Classics has been able to put out yet.
The Polaroid back allows the shutter to fire with the darkslide in?...I had a chance recently to get a Polaroid back for cheap but turned it down due to FPC being discontinued (plus what's out there now had jacked up prices), but I'll keep my eyes open now just in case Impossible Film does take a gamble on peel apart. My only lens on my SD is the 127mm K/L, so I know your pain with regards to trying to use mine for any street photography. Great video btw, as I forgot about the constraints with ambient temp when taking shots.
Heard so many great things about that Polaroid FPC, yet never purchased a Polaroid back or made the time to try it. Womp. Womp. She may or may not "be" from upstate New York, however, that waitress is the exact prototype for the type of low-key hotties that I saw often, 'back in the day' when I lived in upstate New York.
It does..... I remember when I switched over to FP100c from polaroid back in the day, I was blown away....... always gave provia half to one stop extra than the instant
So, If i understand good, the FP-100C is the last polaroid film for RB 67 (Which we can buy, from second hand, for example on ebay..) and any other companies don't make similar films any more. So that mean's end of polaroid back versions for Mamiya RB 67 and any other cameras?
Hey man, love your videos just a couple of things about peel apart Polaroid film Fujifilm FP-100c is a self terminating emulation, meaning if you let it sit for a little while longer than it says on the package it’ll be fine don’t worry about it, I’ve let my film sit for up to 3whole minutes longer than recommended. Also you can get it cleaner picture by peeling the photo away from the negative instead of the pieces apart at the top ,cheers!
Not sure if anyone suggested this, yet, but I've heard of people wearing a shirt with a chest pocket and putting the film in the pocket, so it stays warm, against their body. Jacket would have to be zipped up, of course. Cool video, fella.
So interesting to see how peel apart Polaroids on the Mamiya work. I just got the Polaroid back for my RB. Now just gotta some film for it. What app did you use to meter?
Hey Erik, what up man? What happend with the last video? (the one you ask for our opinion and stuff) I was about to give my two cents on it and the video wasn't up anymore. Anyways, thanks for today's video. This style when you go for a walk and take some photos are the ones I like the most. Cheers my friend
Just tried this and my film got stuck. :( Black sheet came out fine - went to pull the first frame out and the white tab ripped off. Im very upset as this film is VERY expensive. Tried to pull the 2 tab thinking it would pull the other frame out too and it just ripped off too. Im not sure how you are pulling sheets out as the latch closes on top of the sheets.
Hi Erik, It is moments like these FujiFilm should continue to manufacturer the FP-100C. Seriously, the digital image via the smartphone is fast becoming irrelevant.
Hi, I am curious where you got that film back, film and how much they cost? I would like one for quick snapshots for my RB67 like family, non serious landscape photos (or to check if I used the right settings to make sure I nail the real shot!)
2 years ago I had been searching and searching for which Fuji pack camera to buy. When I finally decided on the model, 1 or 2 days later Fuji came out with the news that they wouldn't be producing it anymore. Now I just got a RB67... I'm so sad for never been able to even try this film. #FuckFuji

Well, being dorky and wasting film makes you more lovable, so there's that.
The photos look beautiful. Is that the 90mm f3.8 lens?
127 3.5. and thank you!
Don’t freeze it man just put it in the fridge
Back in the day, pro photographers would use Polaroid backs to make sure the lighting was good before taking the "real" photo, at least when in controlled studio settings. Makes you wonder what happened to all those test shots.
In my experience, they usually walk off with the models and team lol.
Nowadays I use my digital to make sure the shot looks good and then I switch to my Mamiya mounted polaroid haha

No laughing at all, it makes me kinda sad. It's sad that the FP100 will some day run out. I hate it.

Well the RB67 was a pro grade 6x7 camera, so the results were a lot better than a traditional Polaroid camera. Thanks for watching!
THAT'S SO FREAKING COOL! I GOTTA GET THIS SETUP FOR MINE!!
Save the negatives!
this is really late but what can you do with the negatives?

I ordered a 5 pack (so 50 exposures) from Amazon for about $80 a few weeks ago but the price has jumped to over $120. Someone needs to save this film!
I appreciate you filming your awkwardness when initially loading and shooting your first exposure, reminded me of myself. Cheers!!!
I have used this film as well and was very impressed.
But am gutted it has been discontinued. Shame Fujifilm made the decision.
Great shots!

Was yelling dark slide while you took first exposure!! (Bc i saw the red charm)😁
Haha I got it. I can be taught!
Polaroids are always great fun and of course with medium format the quality on a polaroid is super :)
I love your reaction! I bought a cheap land camera last year and brought it to a balloon festival. I took some pictures with it and the people and me watch me as if I was doing a magic show! So cool.
Damn, running through that $50 film! 😩 haha. FP-100C is my favorite thing to shoot. People love It too!
Great video, very entertaining....how to enjoy photography even more, a few beers and a friend make all the difference.
Totally correct. Friends and beer make everything better.
Polaroid back tip #1 :Always put the dark slide back in after each shot. That way you never double expose.
so clean through that sekor glass! Wish peel apart was still being made.
The Mamiya polaroid backs are so great! they utilize the whole frame and look so magical-especially compared to the Hasselblad polaroid backs that give a weird 6x6 image that isn't even centered. If you ever happen to find some, the Fuji 100 SILK polaroids are amazing, but unfortunately they are out of production.

Love the honesty in this film omg!! Im looking to get a polaroid back for an important shoot and Im nervous as hell! Thanks for this great tutorial
Thanks for watching!
It's fun to take images with a Mamiya and it's ever more fun to use a Polaroid film! Unfortunately the Fujifilm FP-100c is too expensive!
Oh the dreaded dark slide. I've done that about a million times. Love my RB67, I'm on my 3rd one.
Really enjoyed this, Eric, loved being out on the streets with you.
Man that's cool. And the scans don't do them justice!
It's true. They look much better in person.
Erik I love the video!!! FP100c is such beautiful film. Try to get a your hands on some FP3000b, it’s been discontinued for sometime, but the results are amazing!!!!
Great video! I felt sick watching the Mamiya darkslide strap dangling. I’ve made all of the same errors in excitement. Good captures.
Outstanding results!
Nice video!
I enjoyed the video Erik! I have only played with peel part instant film in the past, and it was pretty fun to work with. It was certainly much warmer when I shot it though. :-)
So you're saying California is sometimes warmer than Western New York? I don't buy it.
Wow t
Just wow one can die for these prints
So sad they discontinued this film. I had just bought a polaroid back for my RB67 when they announced it. Have about 10 packs left now but didn't wanna waste it on the RB (because it doesn't cover the full frame) so I picked up a Polaroid 600SE to shoot the rest of my stock with. Love FP100c
WOW images look great
Cool video and great results!
Hey Erik,
Great video. One cool tip would be to use the cold clip for shooting Polaroid film in the cold weather.
Great video! If you keep the black portion, you can actually save that, remove the black chemical and you will be left with a negative that you can scan at even higher quality.
Congrats, your camera is light-tight with the darkslide in, thats a good thing!

Have you tried exposing FujiFilm Instax sheets in your Polaroid back? It worked great for me in my Bronica GS-1 6x7 camera!
VeloRydr what size exactly? Trying to find it but can’t find the correct size

Why Why? Because of you I just buy a polaroid back for my RZ67.....
I'm joking it's a long time that i'm looking to buy it...great video
Don't know if it was intentional on Fujifilm's part, but I've always found FP100C to look like Provia.
It does..... I remember when I switched over to FP100c from polaroid back in the day, I was blown away....... always gave provia half to one stop extra than the instant

I could be mistaken, but I *believe* FPC-100C has a self-terminating developer (90 secs).
I have an m80 mamiya Polaroid back but I can’t seem to put the film pack in
What other films can I use for that back? (since the one in the video is discontinued)
Hey Erik, what up man? What happend with the last video? (the one you ask for our opinion and stuff) I was about to give my two cents on it and the video wasn't up anymore. Anyways, thanks for today's video. This style when you go for a walk and take some photos are the ones I like the most. Cheers my friend
Michel Oliveira I was gonna ask the same thing, I couldn't figure out why my comment wouldn't post.
I wasn't happy with it so I took it down. Feel free to shoot me a message with any suggestions.
This may have been asked, but just came across your video, was your 120 film out of date, if so, by how much - finally - have you ever used the CB70
Just tried this and my film got stuck. :( Black sheet came out fine - went to pull the first frame out and the white tab ripped off. Im very upset as this film is VERY expensive. Tried to pull the 2 tab thinking it would pull the other frame out too and it just ripped off too. Im not sure how you are pulling sheets out as the latch closes on top of the sheets.
When did this film expire ? I’ve got a pack expired in 04 and I’m just thinking of ways to compensate for it
My photos are coming out blank , can u please help ?
How do you bleach them?
I'm surprised the camera fired with the dark slide in...
Hi Erik, It is moments like these FujiFilm should continue to manufacturer the FP-100C. Seriously, the digital image via the smartphone is fast becoming irrelevant.
I wanted to see the double
I gave it to the staff, sadly.
Did you keep the negs?
You made the waitress/waiters day
Are you using a specific app on your phone for metering?
RIP Pack film. Something I'll probably never shoot unless somebody starts making it properly again.
I've got some in the freezer. I'll shoot it eventually.
@@ErikWahlstromPhoto it ain't getting any fresher!
If you had a land camera the whole film area would have been used nicely.
How did your RB67 fire with the dark slide in? Or do they behave differently with a Polaroid back?
It's a dark slide in the back. It has nothing to do with the camera itself.
@@ErikWahlstromPhoto Well my RB67 with a 120 back won't fire with the dark slide in the "back"
Yes. It's in the Polaroid back. As per your question.
Hi, I am curious where you got that film back, film and how much they cost?
I would like one for quick snapshots for my RB67 like family, non serious landscape photos (or to check if I used the right settings to make sure I nail the real shot!)
Got the film back from a local camera store for next to nothing. Film is available on most online photography retailers while it's still in stock.
I paid $30 for the back.
Erik Wahlstrom sweet, I think I will buy one once there is a continuing manufactured 120 Polaroid film
When you take a Polaroid and its cold out, put it under your arm(arm pit) and it will develop correctly.
Hello Erick.
What's the size of the filter for a Mamiya 90mm lens?
Usually this informations comes on the own lens but not in this one =/
Thank you!!
I don't actually own that lens, but it looks like the 90 3.5 uses a 77mm filter.
Thank you Erick!
Erik Wahlstrom yep, it's 77mm
what’s the lens
127 kl
what city is this?
Buffalo, New York, baby.
When it’s cold like that put the film under your arm and give it 2 1/2 mins. They should work fine.
Bought this big heavy pro camera to take crappy 110 pictures.
Lol your like history though. You seem great! 😎
all of pack film discounted, sad...
😎😎😎😎👍👍🇬🇧
just a tip, you can't really over-develop it, i believe. so maybe if you@Re unsure, just give it a while
Back in the day I used this stuff I cost me £1.00 a shot. How much is it these days?
$2-$3 a shot.
2 years ago I had been searching and searching for which Fuji pack camera to buy. When I finally decided on the model, 1 or 2 days later Fuji came out with the news that they wouldn't be producing it anymore. Now I just got a RB67... I'm so sad for never been able to even try this film. #FuckFuji
