being the proud owner of a RZ67 with a Polaroid back wondering what to do with the empty Polaroid cassettes.I don't like to throw away anything :) Clipping a 9x12cm sheet film to 8.5x12 and then it fits nicely into the plastic cassettes. Bit of a hassle in the darkbag: film out of the carton box>clipping>into cassette>into RZ Polaroid back! Developed in D76 1:1 8.5' 20C. I was surprised by the flatness/sharpness of the film. What did I gain besides the freedom of using any (sheet)film I like?
49 square cm of film instead of 42 sq.cm & four nice 45 degrees corners.... ?
greetings

I was thinking about doing something similar with an old Polaroid roll film camera. Just clip down some film to fit as single shots. I didn't end up doing it because the lens has some issues. I did do it with my 116 Voightlander pinhole conversion. I cut down a 4x5 sheet about 1/2 inch in one direction and placed it in the camera. I used a cheap little plastic cutting table with a stop to cut the film to the proper length. I had to block out the cameras frame counter window to make it work. I would think your method would work with pack film and integral film, as long as you can keep the integral camera from spitting out the negative.
