Polaroid Model 150 to Packfilm Conversion

The Model 150 lends itself to the first attempt at figuring out just how to get this conversion thing done, without ruining a nicer model with your mistakes. So I chose to use this Model 150 as my test-bed for converting these roll-film Polaroids.

I have set up this guide with the steps taken from start to finish found at the right side of the page. I did not label them "step 1, 2, 3" because I don't feel its necessary to do every one of these steps, or in some cases, in the order they are presented here. I took great care in trying to document all the steps I took to get this camera converted.

These pages are the fruits of that labor.

I DO NOT recommend following this particular conversion but instead to use these photos and steps as research in your own conversion(s). The stuff I did for this conversion is not very clean or professional looking. Though it is functional in the end, you can certainly do better; it was a learning experience.

So, take a look, have fun, and enjoy the pretty pictures!
