Cokin A filters for Polaroid Land Camera

There are not too many kinds of filters provided by Polaroid for land 100~400 cameras which using peel-apart films.

As far as I know, only orange filter for B/W film and some portrait or close-up accessories. Even could been found on eBay, most of them are expensive; compared with other easily accessible filter system.

This time, I’m trying to modify a Cokin series A filter adapter. Plenty used Cokin filter are sold on eBay, sometimes you can get a 5~6 filters set with a pretty reasonable price.

In fact, it’s only little trimming and grinding works to do.

About 10 minutes later, you’ll get a filter adapter which could access whole Cokin filter system except the kind named “center spot” (060~078 etc.) which with central hole on it . Not bad solution, I think!

Here are tools all you need.

When attaching, use little pressure on the plastic adaper as red arrows shown then it will clamp the D/L control and the electric eye.

Done!!

There are over one hundred different kinds of Cokin filters waiting~~
