@@sneakingelephantok but don’t discount instax. It’s actually a surprisingly amazing film when shot through a glass lens it’s just Fuji refuses to make a good camera for it. You can get an instax wide back for the camera in this video and it gives AMAZING results
You definitely made amazing use of that pack of film! Great content and great images, as always! (I also appreciate your transparency about the challenges and hiccups photographers encounter haha)
LETS GOO DUDE!!! No but fr, using an old box of $90 film that could either be the best or the worst images one has ever made (and then breaking it mid-shoot) gotta be the most film shooter experience ever. Also warping the lights onto her spine is absolutely genius. Love how those came out.
DUUUDE I GEEKED OUT WATCHING THIS!!! Im so happy to see a proper press video on yt. I never plan on getting this back because of how expensive that film is. It was really nice seeing this. Your conceptual stuff is so cool! The vignetting actaully added a nice touch with all the shots that had the circles on her back. The camera is able to take 645, 6x6, 6x7 and 6x9. You just need the right back and mask for the right format. I highly recommend the 75mm lens, for both polaroid and 120mm.
dude this video is so special! ur experimentation with such sensitive photography gear and ur dedication to film in general is just so inspiring to a photographer tryna transition from digital to film. so so cool, thank you Linus.
what an amazing concept!! I love how the photos turned out!! and I love how this video matched the speed of the process of shooting one by one!! Sending love from Japan ☺️✨
Epic video mate! I promised I'd let you know my thoughts in the comments - good job on figuring out what the focusing issue was after the first frame! Beautiful work man 👋🏻🔥
Cool shots Linus! That little misshap in the beginning reminded me of something that happenned several years ago: I wasted a full pack of FP-100C while loading the film and to this day I still don't know what I did wrong because I definitely know how to load packfilm! Never been so angry at myself, wasting precious and rare film (and 65€ down the drain....). Well, that happens sometimes...
this was my favorite before it was discontinued. those were the days man. This and FP100-C were such good film stocks and so cheap compared to other instant film. That pull apart smell
@@linusandhiscameraI know I was so bummed because back then impossible project suckeddd so I just didn’t shoot instant for a long time. Would be thrilled if they brought it back. Glad you’re enjoying it :)
If you’re into shooting instant film and want to do it the cheapest way possible but with manual controls just google “zluxtech mamiya universal”. This dude in Hong Kong actually makes and sells a custom instax wide back that fits this camera and the film comes out to about 80¢ per shot which is probably cheaper than the price per shot of 120 film by the time you’ve paid for processing and scanning! Instax is actually surprisingly high quality film too, it gives results comparable with 100c with a much more sensitive emulsion. Also if you peel the frame and developer pod off of a shot of instax wide it actually looks a lot like peel apart.
@@linusandhiscamera absolutely ‼️, and I’m not just talking about the work you produced, everything. From trouble shooting to creating ideas on the fly. Very Impressive my friend. Never stop. 💯
This might be one of my favorite videos I’ve watching in a long time. So inspiring in ways I can’t even put into words. Thank you for showing your shoot process for this!! Now I’m searching on where I can get a pull apart film camera!
You can get these cameras off places like eBay or keh. Make sure the one you’re buying accepts returns and do your homework to research how much they’ve sold for in the recent past. If you’re patient you can find good deals. I picked up my last Universal Press setup with a 127 lens and Polaroid back for $150 not too long ago so they represent a really solid value not just in terms of a camera that shoots Polaroid but medium format cameras in general. The framing can be a bit difficult if you’re not shooting 6x7/6x9 or using one of the three lenses that it has frame lines for.
Peel apart film is such a fun experience I play roulette and buy expired packs and try and see if I get any results , gotten results (although very non contrast) from a pack of black and white polaroid film from the late 70’s And tons of crazy color shifted results from some early 2000’s stuff
So inspiring as always!! I've been wondering if I should splurge on a pack of pee-apart... Love your ability to include the fumbles as well as the successes 🌟
It's an awesome film. I had a chance to use fp100c years ago with my Polaroid The Land Camera 100. It's incredible that you can also make a negative out of that second layet of the film and scan or develop it as a normal negative.
1:40 i felt that in my soul. ive had this happen multiple times and it really just hurts so bad. have had the white pull tab to release a photo break multiple times too.
Damn, I’ve been shooting this combo for over a decade now and I remember my first 2 packs I put through it I didn’t know the lens was collapsible and could not figure out why nothing was in focus. At least you only lost one frame because of this. For the other ones that are slightly out of focus, I’m curious why you didn’t just stop down and slow down the shutter speed? Shooting at wider apertures makes sense when you have a lot going on in the background and you want to separate your subject and throw everything else out of focus but there’s not much in the background to distract, and in fact having the background more in focus might actually add to the composition for this concept. I find it interesting how much these lenses vary from copy to copy. I’ve probably shot over a hundred packs of peel apart on this setup and I’ve never seen it vignette as hard as this although I’m sure having an all white background probably exaggerates it. Hot tip- the 75mm, 127mm, and 150mm lenses have an image circle that is actually designed to cover peel apart film. A couple other things worth mentioning- not only does this camera shoot 6x7 and 6x9, but it also has a G adaptor that lets you attach RB67 backs so that opens the possibilities up to 645/6x6/6x8 (motorized back) which makes it even more “Universal”. Also it seems like you’re being careful to time the development of each shot which is important with Polaroid peel apart but with Fuji it is self terminating so once the chemistry has done it’s thing it becomes inert so you can’t accidentally over develop it like Polaroid. The tendency for 3000B these days is that the blacks fade a bit more gray but this can at least partially be attributed to the aging of the developing reagent. If anything leaving the film to develop longer and fully exhausting the developer could in theory lead to slightly deeper blacks, so there’s no rush to peel it at exactly 15 seconds. I totally get the feeling of wanting to see the result as soon as possible though 😂 This is by far my favorite video you’ve made and something I never expected to see on TH-cam in all my years shooting this camera and film. Really hyped more people get to share the excitement for how magical this stuff is.
Very similar! I went with this one because it was cheaper and getting a 120 back and adapter is much cheaper and easier to find. There's a reason the cameras pretty much looks identical!
It’s the same as the 600SE with a few key differences. The 600SE has framelines for packfilm which is actually really useful as framing on the Universal can be a huge guessing game since it only has 6x7/6x9 framelines. The 600SE also has a different lens mount and different back mount so they are not interchangeable between the two cameras, meaning the 600SE can only take the 75/127/150mm lenses made for it and it can’t use any of the universal’s roll film adapters
I don't know if you've mentioned it in previous videos, but where do you find these places to shoot at? I'm new to photography so I don't know if you can just rent these places.
there is a company that sells peel apart film. Inanimstant made a video about a product where they cut costs by making you assemble the film yourself. Didn‘t check the price on that, but maybe it‘s more accessible..?
@@linusandhiscamera a lot seems to happen in regards to film production. Harman will release a new color film stock tomorrow which definitely will be interesting =)
The company is called one instant and the film is still over $12/frame before shipping for the assemble your own. Unfortunately it’s not a company making a new film but rather they are using dead stock Polaroid reagent that was made for the Polaroid 20x24 cameras and repurposing it to use in their single shot peel apart film. It’s amazing we even have that option but it’s not sustainable and once the reagent is gone so will the film. It’s less a new film and more salvaging the very last bits of what is still left behind from Polaroid while it lasts
You be one creative sum'bitch! Makes me just a tiny bit envious...no, damn, more than that! Actually, I did my best ever photo of my wife on B&W Polaroid negative/positive film, arca swiss 4x5, imagon 200 mm, with one flash, a mirror and a little reflector... your cool lighting ideas brought it back, but inspire to do more, thanks!
with my phone! I used MyLightMeterPro - the film is 3000 speed but a decade old, so i shot it at 2000. i metered for the bright light on Mika’s face (that’s what i want exposed properly) so that everything else would fall off into shadow.
They can’t use the same lenses, they have a different bayonet mount. If you’re a bokeh slut this is an important distinction cause you can’t use the 100mm f/2.8 on the 600SE
Anyone in the comments looking to buy I’ve got about 65 packs of 05/2015 expiration left and the film industry strikes this year have made me motivated to sell
Please Fujifilm…

These are some truly gorgeous shots! Love the way you think, these portraits are both unique and classic
Thank you! So glad I can share my process

hahaha aw thanks fam
I miss this stock so much
DANG IT!! Now im going to have to order a pack from my RB67. I have the camera and back already 🤔
Doesn't the 100mm cover peel-apart or is it the hood that caused the vignetting? Just got a pack of 100B for my Universal, thanks for the inspiration.
It's definitely the hood. I can't believe I didn't pick up on that until you said it LOL. Have fun shooting!
@@linusandhiscameraI was going to ask about the vignetting. I think it came out so good on the pictures!
Ah damn I was curious about this too! That makes so much more sense
Amazing
thank you Cory!
Insane!!
This is very inspiring
The 3000 in the name must be the eventual price of the stock
HAHAH chill please no
Did you capture the negatives from these Fujis? I wonder how the scans would turn out
I love to shoot Fuji FP 100C!!! btw which beamer do you use?
Beamer? Projector? Just epson's general projector from last year
Did you have to use an adapter to use that manual Polaroid backing? I have one myself but it seems to big to fit on the universals back?
I'm guessing this is the same camera as the Polaroid 600SE? Which would make sense since the Polaroid has a Mamiya lens

Basically the same as the polaroid 600se then.
Yes. They are practically the same camera. Can use the same lenses, have the same body. This one just has cheaper access to a 120 back and adapter.

Hmmmm, I used to buy this stuff about £15.00 ( $20.00 ) a pack about 5 years ago. Fuji has a lot to answer for.
Shame they discontinued it. I'm sure it would be $20-30 if they still produced it now.
someone needs to start making new peel apart film.
Sadly this would take millions in R&D since every peel apart assembling machine has been dismantled and destroyed
Very nice (:
