Just finished convert Polaroid 110B to 4x5

[cuccu0]

All I have done are: paint the top cover, replace leather and make new back. Now I have multi-format camera with interchagealbe lens.

Nice job on the conversion. I am hoping to convert a 110b to pack film or buy one already converted. What is the minimum focus distance? Can you do portraits or do you need a close up kit like the 100 style cameras?

Looks nice. Was the Poloroid interchangabel lens to begin with?

It looks like it's the standard lens which can be removed by unscrewing the retaining ring (like any other LF lens). However, it seems that any lens with a focal length that's too different from the standard one would run into problems with the focus range.

It works on 90mm, 150mm lens, somebody said 210mm may be worked also, depended on how long bellow is.

150mm schneider

you are right for the first sentence. there is no problem for the focus range with 90mm, 150mm and maybe 210mm. I can use both ground glass or rangefinder for focusing. I set the length of bellow for infinity lock position and do the same for viewfinder. after that, I can use rangefinder system for focusing any thing at any distance.

but the frame view on rangefinder system is correct for standard lens only

depended on the lens you use. for the standard lens, the minimum focus distance is 3ft. there is no problem if you use any close up filter and focus by ground glass
