Testing new Polaroid 180 camera
afternoon at home
warm, sunny, probably 80s
Photo notes
Now that I'm finally fully manual, I need to run a few tests, also helps me check out the camera. One cool thing I had never thought of is no need for a battery - no chance of erosion & a cool compartment for film coater where battery compartment would be.
film 679 ISO 100
full sun
f16 @ 1/125 using the light meter God gave me, which will never get lost, and if it's low on batteries, I should stop shooting anyway
deep shade
f8 @ 1/125
3 more stops light than full sun
f5.6 @ 1/30
6 more stops light than full sun
film 665 ISO 80
full sun
f16 @ 1/60
2 min dev, thin neg
f11 @ 1/60
90 sec dev time
better neg, but still thin
roller/film malfunction? didn't do it again, won't worry - rollers look good, could use some cleaning...
f11 @ 1/30
90 sec dev, decent contrasty neg
very contrasty light & subject
deep shade
f4.5 @ 1/15
2 min dev
5 more stops light than full sun +dev
thin neg but probably usable
held pretty still, might do all right at 1/8
all looking pretty good - it still would have been nice to get down to f 3.5 with a Polaroid 195, but this 180 was such a deal, I couldn't be sorry!
