    Description

    Polaroid 110A / 110B 4x5 Re-Conversion kit for a packfilm converted Polaroid 110A or 11b (120)
    (see also my listing for the basic un-converted Polaroid 110A and 110B (120))
    A 3d printed 4x5 re conversion kit complete with all parts, including acrylic ground glass, screws and springs for the previously packfilm converted Polaroid 110A and 110B. Will clip a few millimeters of the negative (see image) but still a BIG negative in a Point And Shoot Rangefinder camera!
    Full online instructions for the conversion and calibration process will be provided. (unable to provide link prior to sale due to ebay policy, however see the sample screenshots from a part of the online instruction and ask questions) For your information Note that the modification is mechanically destructive, I.e. you will not be able to return to starting position.
    Rangefinder are tested and adjusted if required as part of the instructions, as well as setting a new infinity stop to ensure correctly focus when using the rangefinder. Focusing and composing using the groundglass with camera on tripod when needed.
    The kit is complete with all required parts, i.e. 3d printed parts, screws, springs, light sealing foam and acrylic groundglass. You need to provide a Packfilm converted Polaroid 110 camera and some basic tools. I.e. dremel, drillbits, plier, 2mm hexkey, hobby knife etc. Normally the the filmholder clamps are provided in a red material, however all black is available at no extra cost, just let me know in a message.
    This setup is for the standard double film holder, as it provides the simplest and most lightweight option.
    However a variation for Grafmatic and rollfilmholderes are available for a small additional cost (10USD). See my other items.
    Note: Polaroid Tripod adapters are included in the kit, no need to purchase those separately!
    Camera and film holders used for illustration purpose ONLY and NOT included in the kit. ;-)
    Also note that its a 3d printed camera, thus it will be fully functional but might have minor surface "defects" / artifacts from the production process.

    User experience from a user for whom I have converted a Polaroid 110A and two Polaroid 110Bs,
    Mortons Conversion Polaroid 110 A and B brings the best of both worlds together.
    I worked with large format photography in the studio and also in the field. Dark cloth, ground glass, magnifying glass, and heavy tripods were part of working with large format cameras.
    With this Conversion Polaroid carrying heavy
    equipment
    is a thing of the past.
    Street photography is another creative field I'm working in and rangefinder cameras were always my go-to gear.
    That's the point where this conversion brings a considerable step in handling and quality for me - you can shoot in a natural street-photographer style and still get a large format negative as a result.
    I worked with both cameras: the 110A has an enjoyable large viewfinder for focussing - similar to a Leica IIIg (two separate finders for focussing and framing). A very convenient feature on the A is that if you forgot taking off the lens cap, you can't release the shutter because the camera is locked.
    This feature is not included in the B model. Also the A model is half the price of the B. If money is less of a concern the B model gives you the all-in-one-finder. With the B model you can shoot like with a modern M-Leica and the result is a large format negative. All other features on A and B are the same.
    Thank you Morton, for giving us photographers a useful tool and thousands of working cameras a new purpose.
