Well I bought this used 405 back and have bought some film for it...no instructions of course...how complicated could polaroid backs be heh

well...I am doing something really wrong in the order i am pulling the tabs i think.
when i pull out an exposure, it is always the one before the one i just took, the first one is always dead...and i run out of white tabs before i get to the last exposure.

i emailed polaroid and they said they were going to send me instructions...but no luck in ten days...could someone please list the steps to loading and using this film and back?

thanks tons

With a new pack, there is a black darkslide covering the image area. I usually put the pack in the front half and close the back, lock the bale, and pull the black slide. This automatically moves tab 1 into the fresh air.

Without it sitting in my hands I have a hard time trying to figure out what can be done.

Thanks...ok now the dumb question...
does the darkslide come out the part next to the tabs...or through the roller slot...i have been putting it through the roller slot maybe that is the problem

DING! DING! The darkslide does NOT go through the rollers, it comes out the same place as the tabs do. This makes loading a lot easier--almost drop in loading.
