Contax 645 Polaroid Back
I just got a used polaroid back for my contax 645 and it didn't come
with instructions (and the contax website, by the way, is useless). It took me half a pack of Polaroid film (Polapan Pro 100) to figure out how to load/expose/develop the film properly. Now that I've got that right, my images are "cropped." Instead of a 56x45mm photo, I'm getting an approx 56x26mm photo. The bottom of the shot is missing - it's just black with a fuzzy border. I thought I had screwed up the first polaroid pack, so I loaded a new one. The problem is still there. Iget the same results with an 80mm and 140mm lens. Ideas? Thanks, *Michael |

I had just figured that out, actually, and in an attempt to look less like an idiot I was going to post my own answer. I was too late I was so caught up trying to figure out the polaroid back that I forgot the basics. Thanks for your help, *Michael |
