    Hi Thomas! I just got three Polaroid cameras; Supercolor 1000, 630 SL Lightmixer, and 670 AF Supercolor.
    Are they any good?
    I just find your channel, very good videos about Polaroids, thank you for your effort!

    • @Sophort
      @Sophort  2 роки тому

      Hi, sure, they are fine cameras. I especially like the 670 AF. If you are looking to upgrade further, you have to look into the SX-70 and/or the SLR 680.

    I’ve just bought an old Polaroid 600 CL, and it came with an old cartridge inside of it - but nothing happens when I press the shutter buttons, or when I take the cartridge out and put it back in. Could this just be down to a old and flat cartridge?

    • @joeyscerbo7776
      @joeyscerbo7776 5 років тому +6

      Jexeter 66 The battery in the film pack is too old probably and no longer works, if you buy some new film for it it’ll work fine most likely. Polaroid Originals 600 film is still being made

    Hi! Quick one: I just bought a LightMixer 630 model but I see the shutter is half open and pressing the shutter button doesn’t do anything. I still haven’t got the film delivered so haven’t tested with a battery. Is this normal ? Perhaps the shutter needs the battery to operate (but I wonder how it got stuck mid open)..

    • @Sophort
      @Sophort  3 роки тому +1

      Sometimes the camera gets stuck in the middle of the cycle. I would also assume that inserting a film pack with a battery will "reset" that.

      It is fine but you can't override the flash. That's why I wouldn't pick it. Always shoots with flash.

      It should say on the top part of the place you put the film (e.g. Polaroid 600) and it should be colored
