Overall, I think the film does make a difference. Life is busy and days pass fast, so it has taken me a while to finally try it. Another symptom was that the camera did not close properly, as you can see below.Ī few weeks ago I got hold of a few packs of the new Impossible Color SX-70 Generation 2.0 film, as part of the Pioneer program. Then the mirror got stuck up, meaning I could only see "black" through the viewfinder. The first image had a weird black line at the bottom. Secondly (and finally), when I immediately changed the pack, the mirror of my SX-70 got stuck. S***! The pictures did not have any contrast, and had development path marks (i.e., vertical stripes), which I hate so much -especially when I am not trying to get artistic!. However, I did not manage to get a single decent picture of the guests.įirst, I did not have more fresh packs of B&W film. I will post those in a separate post once I return to Denmark after my vacation. Stress and lack of light stories behind, I managed to take some very good pictures of the couple. Last weekend two good friends of mine got married, and I wanted to take some pictures of them and some of the guests as a special project, which was supposed to turn into a special wedding gift for the couple. If your film packs are not fresh, forget it - Plan in advance, the risk is too high Always bring with you (or do not throw away, like I did) an empty cartridge and a dark slide - You may need it for testing and resettingģ. Never do an important project with only one Polaroid camera, especially if at the time you do not have internet access - The camera may break or get stuckĢ. This is one more Polaroid lessons learned post:ġ.
#Polaroid land camera 360 film how to#
Now you know the inner works of Polaroid Land camera film packs and how to save a problematic pack, where the white tab has ripped off. Since we could not find much information on how to fix it or even how the film packs actually work, we decided to make a short video explaining it. My Polaroid 360 camera (type 100) got completely stuck when a white tab broke with the image still inside. Does it make me a vlogger? Doubt it! But at least it was a step, in terms of exposing myself and my video making skills. And now even video! (Not very good at it yet, but hey, you've gotta start somewhere).Ĭonnecting both topics, I have published my very first video in youtube. but two years! I never promised frequency, but this is way too long time!Īnyway, these days I have been a lot more active in terms of taking photos. I knew it had been a really long time since I posted anything. Expired Fuji FP-100C and FB-3000B film can be found through various outlets.Wow. They feature an automatic exposure system that makes taking photographs a breeze - just set the film type and adjust the lighten/darken control to taste.Īll packfilm are refurbished internally and externally a ny defective components are replaced with refurbished, guaranteed parts. All viewfinder/rangefinders are cleaned and adjusted to ensure proper focus at all distances.Īutomatic exposure cameras that are originally designed to work with obsolete batteries are adapted to use easily obtainable AAA-type batteries.Ĭheck out SUPERSENSE for new film options. These Automatic-type cameras have a definite 1960's charm, from the foldout bellows, separate viewfinder focusing, and front clamshell covers. Once the development is complete (per the film's instructions), the user separates the negative from the finished positive. These cameras require the user to extract each photograph from the camera after the exposure is made doing so spreads the developing chemistry between the negative and positive. Before integral films like SX-70 and 600, peel-apart film was the standard in instant photography.
