Title: Large format Polaroid Cameras
Post by: ColinM on January 23, 2025, 18:42:05

I'd not heard of these before.

I saw some prints at an exhibition of Tim Burtons work that he'd made with one of these. Several prints looked at least A3 in size

Note the tell-tale edges around the outside of the prints

All work copyright Tim Burton

This exhibition is on at the Design Museum in London

Well worth a visit for anyone who likes his work
(or just good creative art and design)

I have a 5x4 Polaroid back for a monorail but I don't think that you can get the Polaroid film for this any longer?

I used to shoot Polaroids as test shots when shooting on location (before using negative colour stock for the shot itself) but seldom kept the Polaroid negatives.
