Polaroid Land Camera / Sony FS100
Here is my Sony FS100 with a Polaroid Land Camera connected to it.
Daniel Peters @imacanon and I discussed the uses for the Land Camera and seeing as I had a FS100 I though I would be a good idea to try it on the FS100.
Here is a frame grab. Taken with this set up. I’ll do a little movie when I have time.
The Polaroid fits over FS100 (no lens) very well and just by tying up the straps its steady enough to pull focus on the little lens. Cute!
It’s actually good image the lens works out to about 85mm eq.
This is just a dirty little test.

After purchasing the Sony FX100 the one thing that I disliked was the LCD viewfinder extension tube loupe. Its very long and only magnifies a tiny bit. I used to a Z-Finder on The 5D that sits just a few inches from the screen. I did bodge fit a Z-Finder onto the Sony LCD with gaffer tape and it worked well. It cropped the left and right slightly but that was fine.
Next I took apart the Sony Loupe and the Z-Finder mashed it into one unit. But the Focal length was slightly out and beyond adjustment.
Next I looked at the parts to the Sony Loupe and stripped the long tube down. It breaks down into two parts. I removed the plastic screw lugs and cut down some plastic fins and bent these over on the flip, clip base. You can then insert the optic half of the loupe into the flip base. It’s a tight interference fit and pushes down onto the bent fins about 12mm in. You could use so plastic weld for additional strength.
There is plenty of focus adjustment on this now short loupe.
The unit then clips onto the LCD as normal still maintaining its flip function .It’s comfortable in any position and works very well.
Off to glorious Belgium #Gent very early tomorrow to film the Music man “Frank De Wulf”. Happy days!
The difference adding grain to an image or film frame.
The picture to the right is the original. After adding resolution and grain the results are very pleasing. (click to enlarge)
