The field test was very successful.
   
Later today when I have time, I will post a visual recipe on how I did it. :-)

i was thinking of doing something similar with a 545i back, but it looks like you were just using a regular film holder! good job! my only question is how did you get it to pop the chem and roll so evenly?

Like everyone else, I'm totally fascinated, S. Liu/ Thanks so much for sharing this experiment. I don't know anything about 'backs' - are they powered by the camera normally? I was wondering then about the battery in the integral film.....does the pic. eject, or do you have to remove it?

very inventive.
a couple of questions -
did you secure the film in the holder? double-side tape or something? or does it fit in the slots...
at what speed did you rate the 600 film?

thanks! this is much simpler than using a 545i back, PLUS i can try this with an 8x10" and with several pieces of film..
one question did you place something in the film holder to mark the place the film should be to be centered? or did you just kind of let it rest wherever?

You can secure the film with a double-side tape or something but make sure to remove it complete before you feed the film back to the cartridge and run it through 600 camera. I was too lazy to do that so I simply put the film in the holder. The film fell off at the first try when I removed the dark slide completely. Then I removed the dark slide partially, the film stayed but you can see the edge of dark slide in this picture.

With some measuring guide (such as a Polaroid 600 print), I can partially remove the dark slide so that it holds the film without blocking the image. That is also the reason that I shoot in portait orientation. (The one by missha was in landscape orientation.) Since the image area of 600 film is basically square, compisition wise it doesn't matter which way I shoot.
Of cause you can use other film such as spectra or other holders such as 8x10 as long as the film fits into the holder. With 8x10, you might put more than one sheet of film, that would be very cool. But you have to process the film sheet by sheet.
