About this manual

Each MP 4+ System is shipped with

the operating and assembly instruc-

tions for a basic system. The optional

accessories and lighting units also in-

clude instructions for use. All are de-

signed to fit in the ring assembly inside

the drawer below the baseboard.

Introduction 2

Introduction

The Polaroid MP4+ System is an un-

usually versatile photographic unit. Its

uses in industry, business, medicine,

research, education, the graphic arts

and in a vast variety of other fields are

almost unlimited. They include photo-

micrography, photomacrography, copy-

ing, small-object photography, gross

specimen photography, X-ray

copying and many others.

The camera can be used with almost

all Polaroid instant film types. With

these, it can complete most jobs within

seconds, without a darkroom. The

camera also can be used with some

wet-process films.

The selection of lenses, and a macro

extension, render possible a wide

range of reproduction ratios, from

extreme reduction to high magnifica-

tion. For even higher magnification,

the camera can be used with a micro-

scope. With its wide selection of ac-

cessories, the MP4+ is much more

than just a camera - it is a complete

photographic system. The versatility of

the system is limited only by the imagi-

nation and ingenuity of the user.

Introduction 3

The two MP 4+ models

The MP4+ System is available in two

basic models (Illustration 1). The

Standard Model (left) is shown with the

optional halogen lighting; the XLR Model

(right) includes the optional tungsten

lighting and base board light box.

MP 4+ Standard Model

Total camera height: 46 in. (116cm)

Column height: 35 in. (90cm)

Baseboard area overall: 18x23 in.

(46x59cm)

Standard column/camera: 44-04

Standard baseboard 11 O-l 20VAC: 44-14

Standard baseboard 220.240VAC: 44-16

MP 4+ Model XLR

Total camera height: 66 in. (168cm)

XLR baseboard 220-240VAC: 44-17

The Standard Model (2-left) has a non-

rotating column; the XLR Model (2- right)

has a rotating column.

Both models include a drawer below the

baseboard (3), which contains the ring as-

sembly for the instructions and also pro-

vides a convenient storage area for the

lenses.

Main camera parts (4)

Reflex viewer and hood

Sliding camera head

Camera body

Shutter

Lens

“Exposure” cable release

Column scale

Camera height adjustment crank

“Pre-view” cable release

Film holder

The sliding camera head 44-41

The sliding head (5) fits on top of the

camera bellows. The ground glass and

reflex viewer are mounted on the left

side; the film holders are inserted into

the right side. This feature allows you

to view and focus the camera without

removing the film holder. You simply

slide the head into position for each

operation. The “pre-view” cable re-

lease opens the shutter as you slide

the head into the viewing position, and

closes it when you slide the head into

the picture-taking position.

Introduction 4

TTI AVl810 8x10 camera

This camera (6) may be attached to

the column in place of the standard

MP 4+ camera, to allow the use of

Polaroid instant 8x10 films.

Polaroid 8x10 film system

This includes the 8x10 film holder

and film processor (7). The film

holder also can be used with other

8x10 camera systems.

The reflex viewer 44-55

This accessory (8) attaches to the

ground glass. The viewer contains a

mirror, which directs the ground glass

image forward, rather than upward, to

make viewing and focusing much more

convenient. The viewing hood on the

front ex-cludes ambient light, so that

the image on the ground glass may be

seen most clearly.

The image you see with the reflex

viewer will appear the right way up, but

reversed from left to right. (This rever-

sal will not, of course, appear in your

picture.)

The focusing screens

The three focusing screens (9) are for

use with the Polaroid film holders de-

scribed below. They also can be used

with most wet-process 4x5 sheet film

holders, and some wet-process roll film

holders. They are scribed for Polaroid

4x5 sheet film and 31/4 x 41/4 pack

film formats. The image area of 4x5

pack films extends from the right-hand

marking to about l/8 in. (3mm) beyond

the left-hand marking.

Ground glass 44-50

This is a standard ground glass

screen, for general-purpose

photography.

Aerial image ground glass 44-5 7

This ground glass has a clear-glass

circle in the center. The image can be

focused on the ground glass in the

normal way, or in the clear spot as an

“aerial image”. Instructions for use are

supplied with this ground glass.

Calibrated ground glass 44-54

It is calibrated in inches and centi-

meters, to measure reproduction

size.

Introduction 5

The film holders

The MP 4+ System can be used

with the following Polaroid instant

film holders (10):

Model 545 film holder for Polaroid

4x5 sheet films

Model 550 film holder for Polaroid

4x5 pack films

MP 4+ 44-48 film holder for

Polaroid 31/4x41/4 pack films

Model 405 film holder for Polaroid

31/4x41/4 pack films

With the Model 405 film holder, the

location of the image area is not the

same as that scribed on the ground

glass. For accuracy in composition, a

framing template and instructions for

its use are provided with the holder.

The Model 545,550 and 405 film hold-

ers also can be used with a wide vari-

ety of 4x5 cameras and instruments.

In addition, a number of roll and sheet

film holders for wet-process films can

be used with the MP4+ System.

The MP4+ shutter kit 44-60

The MP4+ System uses a self-

cocking, lensless shutter; the lenses

are attached to the shutter, which is

mounted in a lens board, for easy cam-

era attachment. The shutter speeds

range from 1 sec. to l/125 sec., and

there is a “B” setting for time expo-

sures. There is also a flash socket with

“X” synchronization. The kit (11) in-

cludes the shutter, cable release, and

microscope adapter. The microscope

adapter is attached to the shutter in

place of a lens, for photomicrography.

Instructions are provided with the kit.

Lenses for the MP4+ (12)

44-65 135m m lens; f/4.5 to f/32

44-66 105mm lens; f/4.5 to f/32

44-67 75mm lens; f/4.5 to f/32

44-68 50mm lens; f/4.5 to f/32

44-69 35mm lens; f/4.5 to f/32

44-70 17mm lens; f/4 to f/22

Film processing timer

The battery powered digital timer (13)

is designed to provide accurate timing

of film processing. It may be attached

to any convenient location on the sys-

tem.

Introduction 6

MP 4+ Filter kit 44-88

The kit (14) includes a filter holder with

two filter trays, gelatin filters and a filter

frame. The filters are intended to bal-

ance the MP 4+ tungsten and halogen

lighting for use with Polacolor films.

Filters for other purposes may be used

also, as required. Complete instruc-

tions are provided with the kit.

See Appendix for information about

other methods of attaching filters to the

MP4+ lenses.

Macro extension 44-45

The macro extension (15) is attached

to the camera between the bellows

and the camera head. It enables you

to make photographs at magnifications

up to about 27X, using the 17mm lens.

You can use two extensions to

increase the magnification range

accordingly.

See Appendix for more information.

Universal camera mount 44-85

This accessory (16) enables you to

convert the MP4+ into a 35mm copy-

ing or slide-making system. The MP4+

camera head is removed, and the

mount is attached to the column in its

place. Virtually any 35mm camera, and

many conventional cameras of other

formats, can be used on the mount.

Lighting options

Several lighting options are available

for the MP4+ System. These are or-

dered separately, allowing the system

to be customized for a wide variety of

applications.

Tungsten lighting

This lighting (17) is suitable for most

general purpose copystand photogra-

phy. Includes four 150 watt lamps and

lamp holders. The lamps are attached

to the MP4+ lamp arms.

11O-l 20VAC system: 44-26

220-240VAC system: 44-36

Halogen lighting

This lighting (18, 19) is suitable for

most general-purpose copy-stand

photography. Includes two 300 watt

lamps and lamp holders. The lamps

are attached to the MP4+ lamp arms.

Halogen lamps produce light of the

same color temperature throughout the

life of the bulb. As a result, the film ex-

posure and filtration requirements are

more consistent. (As tungsten lamps

age, they produce light of a lower

color temperature.)

120VAC system: 44-28

220VAC system: 44-38

240VAC system: 44-34

Introduction 7

Electronic flash lighting

This lighting (20) is suitable for most

general-purpose copystand photogra-

phy. The system includes a 400 watt-

second power supply, two lamps with

150 watt modeling lights, and a sync

cord. The lamps are attached to the

MP 4+ lamp arms.

Electronic flash produces light that is

similar to daylight, eliminating the need

for most filtration when using daylight-

balanced color films.

11O-120VAC system: 44-27

220-240VAC system: 44-37

XLR Baseboard light box

The Model XLR baseboard includes a

well for an optional light box (21). The

light box contains four 14 watt fluores-

cent lamps; its diffusion cover pro-

duces even illumination across the en-

tire surface. A cover fits over the light

box when it is not in use. The light box

is ideal when photographing transpar-

ent and translucent subjects. It also

can be used in combination with other

light sources, to eliminate shadows

around solid subjects.

11O-120VAC system: 44-18

220-240VAC system: 44-19

Fiberoptic lighting

The Dolan-Jenner fiberoptic lighting

system (22) is intended for photomac-

rography of small three dimensional

objects. The system includes a power

supply with adjustable light output, a

bifurcated fiberoptic bundle, a lens/

filter adapter for each bundle, lenses

and filters.

The power supply contains a 21V,

150W EKE quartz reflector lamp.

11O-120VAC system: 44-25

220-240VAC system: 44-35
