Polaroid 110a (4x5 Mod) 

Hey, it’s half frame Ryan Gosling.

Finally 4x5 thats worth the effort

jason thought no one would notice the secret word below the fuji blimp 👀

For some reason RU-vid unsubscribed me from one of my favorite channels.

Comment for algorithmic success!

The out of focus image has an impressionistic look.

Thankfully we have evolved past the Littmann Polaroid conversions.

12:10 I desperately need a print of this!

2 videos in one week? Time to celebrate! 🥂

I watched this on my phone at work while eating lunch alone.

Dude.. get yourself a 4x5 Graflex Crown Graphic. You’ll have a similar portable large format camera with a rangefinder, and just as many frustrations.. but you won’t need to disassemble anything and try to mount plastic stuff where metal once lived.

I’m at work, I’m on my phone, I’m on lunch, and I’m alone. Jason’s clairvoyance once again pierces my realm

Oi oi, Tesco essentials Ryan Gosling back, in the same week!

The slightly out of focus one of the couple still works. It gives it a really nice dreamy look.

Two budget Ryan Gosling shorts in one week - I‘m blessed.

Shots fired on eating lunch alone, that was a personal attack even if I'm self-employed at home after a trip relaxing. Thanks for spending all the money on this and letting us live vicariously through it. For the price you spent on both 4x5 setups and film, I could have bought another Leica M10D, probably not dropped by the previous owner this time.

jason have you ever tried the twix ice cream

your last shot is impressionistic... a Monet pastel impression displayed... or maybe not... nevertheless... i dig it...

That book title covered by the mic stand like no one would notice

Not me eating lunch alone, watching this video 😅

seeing a spooky black reference was a bit of a culture shock icl

I have a 900 version of this camera, wonder if it'll work... btw you're Xpan Ryan Gosling

jason knowing who spooky black is was not on my 2024 bingo.

spooky black reference, we're back boys!!

Love that camera. Plus you can shoot medium format with a roll film holder. You should try that one next. Then you can miss focus on multiple formats!

Literally watching this during my lunch at work alone. Felt that loser comment in my soul

Holy crap, I JUST went on lunch. Thanks Greatvalue Ryan Gosling

I love that last shot. It’s very painterly and I think the blur actually adds to it. Also I appreciate the video aspect ratio bit.

Are you leaving the darkslide flapping in the wind just for the b-roll or actually shooting that way? I did that my first time using a Grafmatic and the upper right corners of all the sheets were fogged, as all the sheets in the stack are exposed through the little cutout. You're supposed to pull the darkslide out then push it back in (it goes behind the film septum).

First of all, I'm not at work, and this isn't lunch. I'm in my hotel room and this is dinner. So, who's the loser now?

bro really had the og Spooky Black in the edit. You need to share a playlist or something!

I am eating lunch alone while at work 😭

Jason, I salute you for your ambition, patience, and determination. All that work to modify and adjust that camera is more than I could muster - give me a turnkey device that works out of the box every day. You deserve the impressive results that it will give you. Loved those images! Mostly the B&W stuff, but I have to say that last color photo is a real winner. Great composition and use of color. So the sharpness is off a bit - rendered small it is likely not noticeable. Large enough to notice it is dreamy. Yeah, that's the ticket.

What? no road trip to another Socal dystopian location?

the spooky black mention

Really rocking with that last shot, the motion blur and color makes it properly look like a painting.k

Same conditions as Robert Capa: BELLY LAUGH!😂

Has anyone ever told you that you kinda look like Gene Wilder?? Like in a good way!

As my teacher said, you can walk before you can fly or something (You always list measurements and co ordinates horizontally then vertically, hence 35mm not being called 25mm)

so much respect for spooky black album

I was actually eating my lunch…alone

Yoo, i just recently came across the Travelwide 4x5. It's basically a plastic "tube" shell with a helical focus system. You calibrate the focus with a ground glass first and then you use the distance markings on the focus ring to shoot. It is an incredibly simple setup and extremely lightweight. If you're okay with basically a zone focussing system this is a very portable setup.

14:57 😱How does he know?! Ok wizard man you need to stop watching me eat alone at work.

Spooky Black Jump Scare

10:17 After ignoring all 17 calls from my financial advisor begging me to stop I continued... 🤣

That seems very clever! Good luck. Nice images, BTW.

Omg I have a converted Polaroid Pathfinder 110 too. Shoutout to Morton Kolve!

To be a pedantic loser the 110a used Polaroid roll film, not pack film (though conversions to pack film were done too). Still, equally dead, even more so actually, than pack film

Use TopazAi and sharpen the crap out of that 2ns Cinestill400 Picture :D thank you for sharing your experience

Recently converted one of these cameras myself two months ago and I have to say I absolutely love shooting it, being able to carry a light and ready to shoot handheld 4x5 is a dream

Day 1 of commenting on Jason's videos until he comments on my film photography political satire youtube short "Digital Trump vs Film Biden"

excellent timing to get good geometry and composition... allowing the players to move into place...

If you didn’t martyr your finances and remaining dignity every video, I probably wouldn’t bother watching the whole squarespace bit.

Amazing how dedicated you are to making these old cameras work again. Really great video.

love all the images. Including the "out of focus " image.

I think you should get the xenotar 135 f3.5 for your polaroid 110.. I think it's a perfect combo. I mean with all your beautiful cameras this polaroid deserves the xenotar..if you have a hard time finding the 135 i think I got 2..

I almost spit out the lunch I was eating as you decided to call us out 😂

Gear is a trap, the photos are the thing. Picking the most expensive and difficult option just hinders matters. It's a fun hobby, and I enjoy watching your quest for the grail though. And it is 5X4, not 4X5.

The timing of this couldn’t be better since I just found 2 old Polaroid land cameras in my closet from years back. They’re Polaroid 100 and Polaroid 360. Do you know if they make any 4x5 mods for these models?

I'm being dumb, but haven't I seen you shooting a Graflex? if you haven't $150 will get you a graflex with a graflox back and can shoot 4x5 or 120 film backs, once you go there, spend $300 and get a speed graflex and then start shopping for an aero ektar

sharpness ain't everything. the colours, textures, and overall feel of the photo of the couple with the gallery silently lurking in the background just works. for a quick snapshot on 4x5, looks pretty 🔥 to me

Hey Jason, You know, according to my understanding and the manual on the Grafmatic, you’re supposed to push the dark side back in behind the sheet you’re going to shoot before you shoot it. When I have forgotten this, I’ve gotten light leaks down the finger slots on the septum’s. Your frames look clean, but over and over in this I saw you shoot it with the dark slide out. I think the dark side also seats it well in the exact focus plane according to God and Graflex. Anyway, just curious if you’ve had any problems and what you’re thinking is. Take care, Charles.

And instead of the grammatic back you should get the Fujifilm quick change. It's similar but more expensive and more easier to use.

400D is an odd stock. I shot a roll last summer, as well as a roll of Portra 400 while travelling. Honestly the colours from the 400D were bomb as hell. I thought they were much nicer than Portra, which wasn't bad, but just kinda boring and dull.

There’s also a good mod for the 110/similar Polaroid cameras that converts it to shoot with the LompGraflok instant backs. I think the film plane is even further back on that one so you’ll probably need to mod a new camera for it, but instax wide film is surprisingly cheap per shot compared to negative and slide film when you factor in dev costs.

polaroid 110a used roll film, not pack film

OH...just GREAT!?!?! I may now have found myself jonesing to go 4x5...grrrr. ;)

I involuntarily laughed at ‘focusing more, on focusing’. The shame.

That last photo- yah, it’s out of focus, but damn bro, it looks like an oil painting. Fuck focus. That was beautiful.

I can only imagine that a film photography youtuber's accountant is not unlike Hunter S Thompson lawyer.

I watched this on a Nintendo Switch, at a cafe while drinking something surrounded by ppl (that actually sounds horrid to go thru)

So who did you get the conversion kit from? The one's I'm seeing use plastic sliders to lock the back in place.

How did you find the new Copal aperture scale for the 127 mm lens ? Did you buy a custom one ?

Hi, could you please share the link where you purchased the 3D printed back?

i got a question, i managed to have a model of a 110A on hand but it has a detail that i cannot find commonly on other cameras, it's a label that says "demonstrator" on top of the plate engraved in the top plastic, but i cannot find a single thing about it, has anyone got any clue? i would love to know, thankyou

I'm at work, I am alone but I'm not eating lunch. Actually, I'll be going home to eat lunch with my wife. So suck on that Jason. Awesome video as always.

This 4x5 formal video is making me dizzy but I like it???

Are these mods easy to find on ebay? I have a polaroid back for my Rolleicord that looks very similar inside to the one you had. I bet if the lens covers 4x5 than it could be pretty cool to shoot some on a Rolleicord.

I will love that setup if I can slap 6x12 back on it, It will be my dream 😂😂

Very cool idea (how do you come across these things?), a portable 4x5!

Fun animal kingdom fact, moose will swim underwater in the ocean to eat kelp, where orcas have been known to hunt them!

Thia video cured my mild depression.

But it's awesome finding a deal on a box of 100 sheets of 4x5 off ebay for $105 dollars. I think I'm sitting on about 800 sheets of early 2000's expired film. Obviously the time I spend checking "4x5 film" on ebay needs to be replaced with taking the camera out more.

that location reminds me of Modern warfare map.... 🙃

Preposterous, I must pause the video and listen to this album, you cant use that font unless every track is a banger

That’s cool as once warm poop. A truly portable 4x5.

lol, look just below the mic-stand on the right side of the screen when he's on camera.

“How awkward do you want the handling on this camera…?” Jason…. “Yes”

ts even worse than being a pack film camera, its Roll Film, which is even more extinct

whoa whoa there, two vids in one week? Jason is on a roll I'm worried.

If you have troubles with your film back you gotta give it that Huck Tuahhh

Picked up one with enough pinholes to be confused with swiss cheese. Is there somewhere I can send the camera to change the bellows?

Be nice to do this with a Polaroid 330 camera glass lens version, even with a little vignetting.

Hey, it's cheap and unusable Ryan Gosling.

Where did you get that 4 x 5 printed back? Looks like it makes things easier

Damn im literally at work eating lunch alone. loser. 😭

Been binging your vids the past few days. Great timing Jason

Eating lunch in my parents basement while watching this on a laptop. Nice try Jason.

4:05 would have been a classic shot...if i had the time. :D

Slow and sticky like a bad bachelor party🤣🤣🤣
