Coca Cola is it

Old school soda bottles fascinate me, a bygone era holding on to existence. Kind of like film photography. The die hards not letting go. Or something like that

This expired pack of Fuji Instant Film seems to be getting better colors the further into it I get. This is 5th shot I believe. The background is more black than brown but the tinge of green from the bottle and red from the label look good. My local store just got some fresh FP-3000b in, a black & white pack at ISO 3000. Should be fun.

Lastly, this is the first shot with my new Proxar, courtesy of a well known auction site.

The first shot with my new Hasselblad Polaroid 100 back. Picked it up on eBay and it came with a packet of expired ( 09/2005 ) Fuji FP-100C instant film. I let this “develop” for 2 minutes, which I believe is the limit. I am assuming the fact that is underexposed is due to the age of the film. I am now wondering what kind of exposure compensation I might have to use to get better shots.

Overall, I am very happy that the back works well. Took me a bit to figure out the loading. Even with a manual I was scratching my head as it didn’t look right. Watched a Youtube video of a Bronica ETRSi with a Polaroid back being loaded to help me along. Different brand but the principle is the same. Check it here, if you are interested.
