definitely interested in topic 2.
I managed to get an old cheap version of SX70 to do this...what a hassle.

What I find interesting about this now-years-old fraud is the choice of
names intended to evoke what? Trust? Honesty? Or just familiarity.
Mandela's name is spotless but at least in this country Clinton may rub
some folks the wrong way. Three decades ago I tried without success to
earn some money in a phone sales boiler room. the most successful
salespeople all used names vaguely reminiscent of popular local disc
jockeys or ball players.
Two on topic items: I've long shot with Polaroid Sx-70s, 690s and
various peel-apart film cameras and backs. I've used integral film
(either Time Zero or 600) in film box pinhole cameras and in 4x5 sheet
film backs. Of course then I have to place the pack back in the
appropriate camera for processing. And the image--not going through the
SLR mirror of the camera--is laterally reversed, which for some images
is undesirable. I've spoken with my camera repair person about
converting an SX-70 camera to eject film on demand. with that conversion
I could replace the lens/shutter assembly with a pinhole and tape
shutter, make my exposure and eject the film when I was finished. The
repair person indicates that this conversion is much more difficult than
I would hope. If anyone else is interested in this project I'll report
progress back to the list.
I've always shot a lot of transparency film in various pinhole cameras,
partially because I always have it around for non-pinhole purposes, and
partially because of its beauty. Lately I've been using the 120 version
of Fuji Provia 400F. A wonderful film with great reciprocity for long
exposures. Sharp, good contrast. Lovely. Highly recommended.
