Polaroid Polavison Land Camera film - HOW TO REMOVE FILM FOR DIGITISATION?
Polaroid Polavison Land Camera film - HOW TO REMOVE FILM FOR DIGITISATION?
Hey everyone, I'm being sent a 'reel' which has opened a gap in my knowledge. It is a 'Polaroid Polavison Land Camera' film which is in an elongated cartridge - does anyone know how to get the film out of these cartridges? And can the film be put back in?
Destructive opening . WARN THE CLIENT!!! They will not be returned as was.
They are akin to opening oysters. Wide flat bladed knife and a wiggle in the centre under the film guard. Bits may fly in all directions and when you get the film spool out you may want to drill out the hub to fit a small/large adaptor.
Once you've done all that the film quality will normally be cr@p due to the wonderful Polavision processing.
