Polaroid 195 Land Camera // SUPERSENSE One Instant P7

 

First time shooting with One Instant P7 film. This is a handmade successor to Type-100 peel apart instant film using old, leftover Polaroid chemistry; a Kickstarter-funded effort orchestrated by Florian Kaps, who originally founded The Impossible Project.

 

It's incredibly messy, smells funny, and rather expensive - but I'm pleased that it does the bleeding neon effect as well as its predecessors. Adapted from a similar technique for certain medium format cameras, this effect is done in-camera by pulling the development tab with the shutter still open, laterally moving the film inside the camera. Since the One Instant film is a single shot load instead of a pack film, it's more ideal for neon shooting as I can compose with a ground glass beforehand, and not worry about unintentionally exposing the next frame when I pull it.

 

Sign is at Camera Doc in Glenview, IL... have used and do not recommend them for vintage gear.
