I recently bought this ‘Goose’ off ebay, specifically to shoot with fuji fp-100c instant film. You may have read in 1 of my previous posts, i bought a M.P.P. 5 x 4 Inch film camera to shoot fuji instant. Unfortunately i had not anticipated how bad my arthritis in my wrists would affect me with such a big camera. I found i was struggling to use it so i decided to go for the polaroid.
Polaroid 600 SE professional is based on the Mamiya Universal/Press. And has an interchangeable Mamiya lens with inbuilt seiko shutter. It is a view/rangefinder camera, so you are not seeing exactly what you get on the film, although so far i’ve found the view/rangefinder to be pretty accurate and reliable. Still a bit on the heavy side but far lighter and easier to handle than the M.P.P.
Even though you can hand hold it, its still really a tripod camera, as you have to set everything on the lens, which means you have to look at the lens to set shutter speed, aperture and cock the shutter.
I love the unique aesthetic quality of instant films like polaroid or in this case fuji, or as i like to call it fujiroid lol. This is an old pack that was in the camera and had become slightly warped in the pack, which may have caused the unique edging. This type of film can also be used to do an image transfer, where you peel apart the film after a short development time and transfer the image onto watercolour paper. There is also the emulsion lift technique where you can float the emulsion off the print and lay it onto other mediums such as paper, wood, metal, glass etc.

I decided to go back to anologue photography for a project experimenting with polaroid or fuji instant film. Both are no longer produced and Its becoming harder to get hold of polaroid but you can still find fuji instant thats not too far out of date.
I managed to get 4 packs off ebay, expiration date 2017.
Ive not used a 5 x 4 camera for over 25 years so it took a bit of patience to set up.
These cameras are not easy to use. Firstly its hard to see the image through the back. You have to use a cover over your head to block out the light so you can see an image.
Also the image is upside down and right to left, so you have to really think about your composition.
When you have your image composed you then have to place the film back into the viewing area, which means you cant see the image when taking the photo. This is not much of a problem when photographing landscapes or still lives but becomes a real pain when photographing people or moving objects.
test pics using fuji fpc 100 instant sheet film (same as polaroid instant)
next i am going to make ’emulsion lift’ images from these prints. This is where you lift the emulsion off the print and float it onto art paper, creating a unique effect. I will also do some shots to create ‘image transfers’ where the image is transfered onto dry paper before the full development time has occured.
I will post again with full instructions on how to do image transfers and emulsion lifts.
