My dad had this same Polaroid 600 Close Up camera for yeeeeears, I traveled to visit him and I had my instax mini with me, so he gave to me his Polaroid camera. He said that the last time he used this camera was more than 20 years ago. I bought film for the camera and it charged, but when I tried to take one picture it started to shoot non stop hahaha the camera literally wasted all the pack of films. I only got two pictures, but I think I might have did something wrong, but the camera still working and thats amazing.
old cameras tend to have their shutters left open, that would explain the motor ejecting the films while trying to close the shutter... such a waste of film sadly
@@hitbyabus4615 That was exactly what happened, the button was stuck and kept triggering, but then I bought a new pack and was careful when shooting and I was able to use every film of the pack and took some real good polaroids.
When i was 15 i got myself the polaroid 600 camera from eBay and i did not expect it to work because its eBay.. so for years i used all of my other cameras and just had the 600 up on a shelve in my room, until october last year i decided to buy film just to try it out and its like $20 for only 8 pictures so i was really hoping it would work and it did now its my favorite camera and i literally use it for ever occasion and my friends and family gave me film for it as a side gift during christmas! i really recommend that camera to anyone that loves cherishing memories
I have been shooting Polaroid since 2001, and I have used all of their formats, and the SX-70 is my favorite. I feel in love with it with a SLR 680 I got at a flea market in it's beat up original box for $7 and never looked back. Keep shooting everyone, please keep it alive!
I wish you mentioned the SX-70 film's particularities, some people might not realize you really need a bright day to shoot it, or a flash, which is another investment :D
I actually got a really nice working Vivitar flash for SX-70 recenetly, and it cost me like 7 dollars including shipping, I absolutely love. It’s a nice option if you don’t want to invest a lot of money into mint flash.
Got my Polaroid Sun660 Autofocus and I love it! got it of ebay with some film for about £60 and it had been tested for everything. can't wait to use it in the summer!
We had a Polaroid 600 sun when I was a kid I believe. I remember taking it and shooting pics around the house and using up film until my mom took it away from me XD
just found a polaroid 600 and an sx 70 on eBay (both working according to the description, fingers crossed) and quite affordable! can't wait to spice up the photography a bit with a new element to my photography.
Nice video, but i think, i have got some tips left for camera choices: - Try to find a good Polaroid Spectra/Image camera. Most of them are using glass lenses to create really sharp pictures with some bokeh, build quality is pretty good and the pictures themselves are bigger. In the fact, bigger than 600 or sx70 film. I've got one and i think, they might be the best choice for beginners. Although i have to admit, that 600er polaroid cameras have some cooler designs. - Buying a used older model of a Fuji Instax won't be bad either. A few years ago, i have bought a Fuji Instax 100 for just 8€ at a flea market. And nowadays, they are still cheaper than a new one. And talking about the picture quality, they all use plastic lenses and the handling itself is pretty similar. And talking about functions, the Instax 300 isn't that much better, there aren't new features really. So this might save some money, too. - Some shops sell 10 picture/pack of Instax mini for about 10€. And there are much more different variants. You can get a Fuji instax film with one of those freaking minions if you like. And Instax Mini provides a grayscale film, the Wide format doesn't! Also, you can get much more creative with most Instax mini cameras, like double exposion or long exposures. There is only ONE Instax Wide camera with some more creative/professional features and it is from Lomography. And it costs more than a Fuji Neo 90. And it is not as good as the lens from the Fuji cameras.
Im fairly new to photography and my first polaroid was a impulse. I found an SX-70 at a flea market for $50 with a broken focus mechanism, im glad i have it since its my first repair project im messing with! Cant wait to play around with it
i broke my sx 70 had to buy another one on ebay its like mad max fighting over the last drop of gasoline. Not a good time to buy one here in the states
On facebook look up Chris Levitan, he refurbishes SX-70s and sells them on the Film Photo Gear group. They are all really well priced and for what you would pay from an untested eBay reseller you'll get a CLA'd and tested SX70. I got a beautiful Model 2 from him and it works flawlessly (with a warranty!)
I bought a OneStep Sonar, a pretty niche model. It was a lower end version of the SX-70 when it came out. It’s a great camera and I got it over an SX-70 because it was WAY cheaper and has less moving parts so it has a lower chance of failure
I bought a Onestep Pronto Sonar at a flea market yesterday for $3 and even if it doesnt work, Its a great shelf piece. I do have a FujiFilm SQ6 and an SX-70 Onestep in case the sonar doesnt work. I also found my gf an SX-70 Onestep the same day for $12!
I have plans to use my sx-70 to do school photos when I graduate but i also plan on using it for memories and also maybe photos of those who pay for the photo so i can keep getting cartridges
Great video! I've been thinking of doing a guide like this too, but in a blog post. Also congrats on reaching 1,000 plus subscribers! I'm rooting for you!
Shot-per-shot, if you don't develop at home, Instax Mini is literally cheaper per frame than 120 film. If you're just going to run your film through a Holga or something, might as well go with something that takes Instax.
I've bought the instax mini 11 as a prop for my filming hopefully going to do the job. I usually have 15 -20 cameras at all time but I never actually used a polaroid before, so this will be interesting. I've seen your other videos as well, you are very creative. Thanks for sharing.
I love my SX-70, but i find myself using and spending more money on my Instax camera a lot more. I like the design of the SX-70, but i'm finding it harder to justify. I'm just not willing to pay that much for the film so i'm considering just selling it and putting the money toward an Instax 500af.
Hey Bryan, i really understand you. Sometimes it's hard to justify the you spend way more money for Polaroid Originals film then for Instax. Which Instax Camera are you using at the moment? I'm currently working on a Large Format Back for Instax Wide, and guess i will do alot of my future work with the Graflex and the Instax Back.
I'm currently using the Polaroid 300. It actually gives incredibly sharper pictures than you'd expect. It catches me off guard every time. I do wan't something with more control. I scan all my instax images and enlarge them as well for prints for my family as gifts so size really isn't an issue, granted i do tend to give most of my original shots away on the spot. It also has a flash built-in which i use to trigger studio lights . idk, i guess i feel more creative with instax since i have more film to practice with for my money. I would like a little more control tho. I was considering the Neo 90 until i found out about the 500af.
Yeah, it's great what information you can get out of that little format ;) Yeah thats one thing that i dont like about most Instant Cameras, that you have no control over exposure, i have to take a look at the 500AF really don't know anything about it. BTW love your drawing video.
I got a Polaroid Joy Camera back in 1999 I think. It has a handle to pull out films. But 500 film is no longer available. Is it possible that I use Fuji or Impossible Project film? Like let it developed inside, then pull out films all at once when done? No? Silly?
I have The Polaroid 600 I bought it at a flea market for a dollar I haven’t tested yet yet yet because I don’t have a battery for it but if I had a battery for it and it works can I buy Polaroid original fee The Polaroid 600 I bought it at a flea market for a dollar I haven’t tested yet because I don’t have a battery for it but if I had a battery for it and it works can I buy The new Polaroid originals field and will it work with my Polaroid 600 camera or does it need different film can you please tell me
I just unburied my dad's Polaroid autofocus 660 and I really want to put it into use. So that's how I found your channel! I'm afraid that the camera is going to need some maintenance because it looks like the metallic rollers of the film are in bad condition (maybe due to chemical corrosion). I'll try cleaning it myself (any tips for that?) but I also saw that Polaroid originals offers camera repair services so ... fingers crossed!!!
The rollers and the outer part of the film compartment had white spots, as if it has been affected by some chemical of the film or the battery. I don't have the camera now, but next time I go to my parent's house I'll try to clean it and I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks for replying!!
I don’t know why my Polaroid pictures are developing with a pink tone 😔 (polaroid one step 2) Would it be something about the temperature ? Or exposure ? Help me please
I wanna get a Polaroid camera for a friend for her birthday but i literally have zero knowledge about em i dont mind how expensive it is as long as it works fine cause its a gift i dont want it to stop working after a few shots
Sehr schönes Video! :) Ich habe eine Polaroid 660 Sun AF und auch eine Instax Mini 90 neo classic (toller, kurzer Name.. 😅) aber ich glaube so richtig glücklich wäre ich mit dieser wunderschönen SX-70 😍. Die Instax hat tolle Funktionen, bietet extrem viel Kontrolle und liefert immer ab, wenn man nicht persönlich gerade die Einstellungen verhaut... aber leider sind die Bilder so winzig. Vielleicht hätte man in diese Liste noch die Instax 500 AF nehmen sollen, aber die geht inzwischen auch schon für SX-70 Preise über den Tisch. Naja, die einzige gute Instax im größeren Format ist wohl die Lomoinstant Wide, hast Du mit der evtl. Erfahrungen gemacht? Ich hoffe wohl weiter auf eine SX-70, vielleicht finde ich ja eine unterm Weihnachtsbaum.. 😅 Aber echt toller Kanal, Keep up the good work! :D
Hey, ja die SX-70 is schon sehr hot muss ich sagen ;) Wegen der 500AF, die hatte ich garnicht am Radar muss ich gestehen werd sie mir mal genauer anschauen was die so kann, aber so find ich Instax Wide echt nett und ich mach mir beim fotografieren auch nicht immer gedanken ob das jetzt auch wert is ein foto zu machen. Ja mit der Lomo Wide habe ich letztens ein paar Fotos gemacht da will ich in naher zukunft auch ein How To dazu machen, die find ich ganz nett obwohl sachen wie die closeup lense halt eine frechheit sind, kann man nur raten wo die schärfe liegt. Aber sobald ich da mehr Zeit investiert hab kommt ein video dazu ;) Danke für das liebe Kommentar!
Auf die 500 AF bin ich auch nur gestoßen, als ich nach einer art wide Version der mini 90 gesucht habe.. :D Scheint ganz cool zu sein. Aber sehr gut, dass Du ein Video zur Lomoinstant Wide planst, darauf freue ich mich schon. Ist ja nicht ganz billig das Teil, und ich konnte sie noch nie testen. Habe allerdings schon von dem Close Up Problem gelesen, das klingt ja nicht ganz so toll. ;D Bin gerade dabei die ganzen Videos auf Deinem Kanal anzuschauen und bin bisher sehr begeistert, habe lange nach so einem Kanal gesucht! :) Also kommen da bestimmt noch ein paar nette Kommentare von meiner Seite! :D
Ja ich glaub die 500 AF muss ich mir auch mal genauer anschauen, kenn aber auch niemand in meinem freundeskreis der sie hat. Ja also optisch ist sie super die Wide ich kann sonst noch nicht viel darüber sagen aber wird am wochenende getestet ;) Da freu ich mich schon auf deine Kommentare ;)
Ich glaube die hat es nie groß auf den europäischen Markt gebracht, kenne auch niemanden, der sie hat. Na dann wünsche ich Dir gutes Wetter fürs Wochenende und natürlich viel Spaß beim testen! :D
I took my SX-70 to the town square where I live and I took some amazing pictures, however the rollers are dirty so I have to clean them. I also got my camera in a bundle deal for $5 at an estate sale.
I also got a billy joel 45 record, an old handheld radio, and my dad got some other thing. that made the full deal a total of $10 with the camera being about half of it.
im 2yrs later but i really want to get a polaroid camera to take pics of my girlfriend n maybe make a cute journal but idk if i wanna get the polaroid 600 close up or the polaroid onestep+ :/ can someone give me advice?
I have a Polaroid 600 I got off of eBay and it works except for the flash. I’ve taken photos but was wondering how to get that flash fixed (the camera shop near me doesn’t work on instant cameras).
Well, if the rest of the camera works that is a good sign, but sadly it is really hard to repair a Polaroid 600 Camera and cheaper to just buy a "new" one, Polaroid Originals offers a repair service but that is just for SX-70 as far as i know.
Alex Oleynikov I didn’t know the flash could be turned off when I press the shutter that includes the flash I get a noise and then nothing. Is no image come out im assuming somethings wrong wit the flash because when I press the mini shutter without the flash I get my photo
Watch this: ua-cam.com/video/ZJSCtzGzLjc/v-deo.html Sometimes you need to charge it. Be careful because you must hold it just half way. In the video is not that clear. Good luck!
Hi again, I bought the SLR680, I was testing it with some old film sheets and it ejected two films at once, will this of damaged my camera? I was worried.
Hi. I just joined your channel. It's brilliant. I have been going through your videos and they are quite interesting. Thanks for sharing all of this. I have a question (maybe you have covered this in one of the videos I have not checked yet so sorry in advanced if you did): have you tried the Leica Sofort? If so, what do you think of it? Thanks
yep , I've taken pictures without any problem, but sometimes it wont eject the image so I have to take the cartridge and put it again so the camera can eject it
+nikss sss ok, thats a strange bug i only had this with really old film and weak batteries. i will ask a friend if he may have some ideas for that problem
well I've been shooting some expired impossible film and the camera has been doing great for now, so thank you anyway, if I didn't had that problem I wouldn't have discovered your channel, so I guess that I'm glad I had that issue haha
Hello!! I'm a big fan of your creative work on polaroids and I've also been trying some out myself. I want to ask what camera did you use to film this video? Thanks so much :)))
I got a sx-70 sonar for 60 on offer up fully functional. Then i got a regular modeo 1 sx-70 from offerup for only 40 dollars since it wasnt in a good cosmetic condition but it works perfectly! For 40
Hi, nice tutorial! A question: did you try using the 600 film in the Onestep 2 camera? l have checked in Polaroid-The Impossible website that it is possible but before trying out l would like to ask to someone who knows better and perhaps tried it already....thanks in advance :)
I just got a Polaroid LM 630 for 25€ in a thrift shop in portugal, the only thing is i dont know if it works, i can't wait to buy the film pack to check that out. BTW can someone tell me if i can buy the little square piece that goes on the part that you put your eye into, mine is only missing that.
+Pedro Rodrigues Oh thats a good deal wish you all the best luck that it still works. Ah damn that little thing is missing on 30% of all cameras i guess, i dont think there is any place selling it ;)
Hi, can someone help me in telling me what exactly is the difference between some 600 models...I'm really new to polaroids...so I wanted a 600 but there's a '600 flash' and '600 close up' and '600 sun LMS' and 'spirit 600' but I really don't know the difference so I'm struggling to pick one?!
Analog Things It would be good for you to show us, does it have a light mixer like the 600 cameras? Well, technically it is a 600 camera but you know what I mean, lol.
Hi! First of all, love your videos, keep it up! I'm trying to learn more about polaroids since I bought one from a second hand store and later realized it works perfectly. Second of all - your shirt says "Dziadostwo", am I right? Couldn't resist asking, haha :D Nice fashion sense. Greetings from Poland!
Oh Thanks ;) Nice which camera did you buy? Haha yeah i bought the shirt from pan tu nie stał, found that brand when i was on a pinhole photography workshop in lodz ;) Greetings from Austria!
Hello! I really need some help. I want to buy a vintage Polaroid but I worry about if it works or not. I have found some that say they work, but the sellers haven’t tested it taking photos. My question is that if the camera does functionally work, as long as you get new film, should it be okay? Do I need to worry about the actual camera having something wrong and still not taking photos even though the film is new?
Hey, Polaroid Cameras are really robust so most of the time they just work if you put a new film inside of them. There is always a small chance that they have a problem but you should be fine. What i wonder is how people say it works if the have not put film through it, the only way to see if it works.
Ech, I wanted to buy sx-70, but when I realised that pack of 8 photos is more expensive than porta with development and scanning I laughed rather hard.
+April Hickox Yes, the new company is called Polaroid Originals and the original company was Impossible, the company that bought the last polaroid factory.
Those Fuji cameras don't have the penalty of the mirror. Much better to have the image go directly from the lens to the film instead of hitting a mirror where any piece of dust or flaw is a penalty!

Unfortunately, this is motor issue that would have to be fixed :(
old cameras tend to have their shutters left open, that would explain the motor ejecting the films while trying to close the shutter... such a waste of film sadly
Sometimes the trigger release can dislodge and keep triggering the motor

I really want a white instax mini 9 but instead my uncle gave me the first one you showed and I don’t know what to choose from and I’m 10
Thanks bro! Very helpful!
bloody hell is your lightning good
Sehr schönes Video! :) Ich habe eine Polaroid 660 Sun AF und auch eine Instax Mini 90 neo classic (toller, kurzer Name.. 😅) aber ich glaube so richtig glücklich wäre ich mit dieser wunderschönen SX-70 😍. Die Instax hat tolle Funktionen, bietet extrem viel Kontrolle und liefert immer ab, wenn man nicht persönlich gerade die Einstellungen verhaut... aber leider sind die Bilder so winzig. Vielleicht hätte man in diese Liste noch die Instax 500 AF nehmen sollen, aber die geht inzwischen auch schon für SX-70 Preise über den Tisch. Naja, die einzige gute Instax im größeren Format ist wohl die Lomoinstant Wide, hast Du mit der evtl. Erfahrungen gemacht?
Ich hoffe wohl weiter auf eine SX-70, vielleicht finde ich ja eine unterm Weihnachtsbaum.. 😅
Aber echt toller Kanal, Keep up the good work! :D
Hey, ja die SX-70 is schon sehr hot muss ich sagen ;) Wegen der 500AF, die hatte ich garnicht am Radar muss ich gestehen werd sie mir mal genauer anschauen was die so kann, aber so find ich Instax Wide echt nett und ich mach mir beim fotografieren auch nicht immer gedanken ob das jetzt auch wert is ein foto zu machen. Ja mit der Lomo Wide habe ich letztens ein paar Fotos gemacht da will ich in naher zukunft auch ein How To dazu machen, die find ich ganz nett obwohl sachen wie die closeup lense halt eine frechheit sind, kann man nur raten wo die schärfe liegt. Aber sobald ich da mehr Zeit investiert hab kommt ein video dazu ;)
Danke für das liebe Kommentar!
Auf die 500 AF bin ich auch nur gestoßen, als ich nach einer art wide Version der mini 90 gesucht habe.. :D Scheint ganz cool zu sein. Aber sehr gut, dass Du ein Video zur Lomoinstant Wide planst, darauf freue ich mich schon. Ist ja nicht ganz billig das Teil, und ich konnte sie noch nie testen. Habe allerdings schon von dem Close Up Problem gelesen, das klingt ja nicht ganz so toll. ;D Bin gerade dabei die ganzen Videos auf Deinem Kanal anzuschauen und bin bisher sehr begeistert, habe lange nach so einem Kanal gesucht! :) Also kommen da bestimmt noch ein paar nette Kommentare von meiner Seite! :D
Ja ich glaub die 500 AF muss ich mir auch mal genauer anschauen, kenn aber auch niemand in meinem freundeskreis der sie hat. Ja also optisch ist sie super die Wide ich kann sonst noch nicht viel darüber sagen aber wird am wochenende getestet ;) Da freu ich mich schon auf deine Kommentare ;)
Ich glaube die hat es nie groß auf den europäischen Markt gebracht, kenne auch niemanden, der sie hat. Na dann wünsche ich Dir gutes Wetter fürs Wochenende und natürlich viel Spaß beim testen! :D
+die Alex Danke
I took my SX-70 to the town square where I live and I took some amazing pictures, however the rollers are dirty so I have to clean them. I also got my camera in a bundle deal for $5 at an estate sale.
damn thats a good deal!
I also got a billy joel 45 record, an old handheld radio, and my dad got some other thing. that made the full deal a total of $10 with the camera being about half of it.
i have to look foe stuff like that in austria ;)
Ja das ist gut meine Freund! Meine Freundin mag dich. Du bist sehr toll!
Could you do a review on the Polaroid 1000 land camera?
im 2yrs later but i really want to get a polaroid camera to take pics of my girlfriend n maybe make a cute journal but idk if i wanna get the polaroid 600 close up or the polaroid onestep+ :/ can someone give me advice?
I am going to buy a camera today from polaroids but I still can't make a choice between onestep plus or 636 close up. Please help.
I have a Polaroid 600 I got off of eBay and it works except for the flash. I’ve taken photos but was wondering how to get that flash fixed (the camera shop near me doesn’t work on instant cameras).
Well, if the rest of the camera works that is a good sign, but sadly it is really hard to repair a Polaroid 600 Camera and cheaper to just buy a "new" one, Polaroid Originals offers a repair service but that is just for SX-70 as far as i know.
Are you sure it is not just turned off?
Alex Oleynikov I didn’t know the flash could be turned off when I press the shutter that includes the flash I get a noise and then nothing. Is no image come out im assuming somethings wrong wit the flash because when I press the mini shutter without the flash I get my photo
Watch this: ua-cam.com/video/ZJSCtzGzLjc/v-deo.html
Sometimes you need to charge it. Be careful because you must hold it just half way. In the video is not that clear.
Good luck!
Thank you💯
Hi, please tell me, the quality of the photo itself is better for one step 2 or instax wide?
Hi again, I bought the SLR680, I was testing it with some old film sheets and it ejected two films at once, will this of damaged my camera?
I was worried.
Vintage Polaroid 600. We're can you buy it from Amazon or EBay.
Your channel is really cool 👏🏼👏🏼
+Cristóvão Peixoto Thanks you very much!
Hi. I just joined your channel. It's brilliant. I have been going through your videos and they are quite interesting. Thanks for sharing all of this. I have a question (maybe you have covered this in one of the videos I have not checked yet so sorry in advanced if you did): have you tried the Leica Sofort? If so, what do you think of it? Thanks
i have not, but i the camera is just an expensive rebrand of the neo
Thanks!
thumbs up for the 'DZIADOSTWO' t-shirt :)
thanks katie
What would you suggest for travel photos (outdoors), maybe not so well protected during exposure?
hmm i love the sx-70 for travel since you can fold it so small, but i guess the sq6 is a good alternative
My SX70 sometimes doesnt release the polaroid, that could happen like in 2 out of the 8 takes, someone does know why?
but the mirror and shutter work, so it only stops when ejecting the image?
yep , I've taken pictures without any problem, but sometimes it wont eject the image so I have to take the cartridge and put it again so the camera can eject it
+nikss sss ok, thats a strange bug i only had this with really old film and weak batteries. i will ask a friend if he may have some ideas for that problem
well I've been shooting some expired impossible film and the camera has been doing great for now, so thank you anyway, if I didn't had that problem I wouldn't have discovered your channel, so I guess that I'm glad I had that issue haha
Can you redo this video please because i dont know witch polaroid camera i want to buy and there is more polaroid than 4 years ago
Please, make a review of Leica Sofort
Very informative Video thanks... btw whats your accent
Hello!! I'm a big fan of your creative work on polaroids and I've also been trying some out myself. I want to ask what camera did you use to film this video? Thanks so much :)))
oh thanks, i used the sony a7r3
Analog Things ahh thank you so muchh !!
Thank you so much for the video! I am looking for a sx70. Would you recommend to buy it from polaroid or impossible project?
I got a sx-70 sonar for 60 on offer up fully functional. Then i got a regular modeo 1 sx-70 from offerup for only 40 dollars since it wasnt in a good cosmetic condition but it works perfectly! For 40
Retrospekt has them for 250 if you have the cash to spend. Although they are fully dissasembled and re assembled. They are the best quality i find
Hi, nice tutorial! A question: did you try using the 600 film in the Onestep 2 camera? l have checked in Polaroid-The Impossible website that it is possible but before trying out l would like to ask to someone who knows better and perhaps tried it already....thanks in advance :)
+Belbras Yeah, works fine but more expensive ;)
love your channel
I just got a Polaroid LM 630 for 25€ in a thrift shop in portugal, the only thing is i dont know if it works, i can't wait to buy the film pack to check that out. BTW can someone tell me if i can buy the little square piece that goes on the part that you put your eye into, mine is only missing that.
+Pedro Rodrigues Oh thats a good deal wish you all the best luck that it still works. Ah damn that little thing is missing on 30% of all cameras i guess, i dont think there is any place selling it ;)
Doesn’t the Fuji camera have a personal printer to connect to so you can print out larger sized photos?
no these are all complete analog cameras, their are other fuji cameras that shoot digital, but i have no knowledge to that
Hi, can someone help me in telling me what exactly is the difference between some 600 models...I'm really new to polaroids...so I wanted a 600 but there's a '600 flash' and '600 close up' and '600 sun LMS' and 'spirit 600' but I really don't know the difference so I'm struggling to pick one?!
yeah, there are a few hundret different models but they are pretty much the same, just watch that you have a closeup function
Can you do a video of your opinion of the SLR680
i can, but i can also make that quick, it's an amazing cam and i really like it. faster film and intergrated flash are so great to have
Analog Things It would be good for you to show us, does it have a light mixer like the 600 cameras? Well, technically it is a 600 camera but you know what I mean, lol.
Hi! First of all, love your videos, keep it up! I'm trying to learn more about polaroids since I bought one from a second hand store and later realized it works perfectly. Second of all - your shirt says "Dziadostwo", am I right? Couldn't resist asking, haha :D Nice fashion sense. Greetings from Poland!
Oh Thanks ;) Nice which camera did you buy? Haha yeah i bought the shirt from pan tu nie stał, found that brand when i was on a pinhole photography workshop in lodz ;) Greetings from Austria!
Haha cool! Didn't even know we had such a workshop here in Lodz :D I bought a Spirit 600 CL, having lots of fun with it so far.~
+Lileath2 Yeah that was a one time thing, some EU funded stuff, pretty nice ;) Great Camera hope you will habe alot more fun and memories with it
Hello! I really need some help. I want to buy a vintage Polaroid but I worry about if it works or not. I have found some that say they work, but the sellers haven’t tested it taking photos. My question is that if the camera does functionally work, as long as you get new film, should it be okay? Do I need to worry about the actual camera having something wrong and still not taking photos even though the film is new?
Hey, Polaroid Cameras are really robust so most of the time they just work if you put a new film inside of them. There is always a small chance that they have a problem but you should be fine. What i wonder is how people say it works if the have not put film through it, the only way to see if it works.
Ech, I wanted to buy sx-70, but when I realised that pack of 8 photos is more expensive than porta with development and scanning I laughed rather hard.
Hi i am wondering if there are other film brands that are cheap and work with 600 polaroid cameras.
No there is and will only be Polaroid Originals
Hi, my name's Federico. Maybe you can help me...i have Polaroid EE44 camera, which type of film i can use ? Thank you for your time.
hey federico, sadly this camera takes typ80 film which you cant get anymore :( sorry
Ok, Thank you so much.
Can the Polaroid original one-step 2 film be 9cm x 6cm in size?
no ;) its the standart polaroid film not fuji instax
@@AnalogThings okay thank you
My son who is 7 years old, wishes a polaroid camera, Which one makes sense to give him? FUJU or?
Fuji!
How do you use a Polaroid Captiva?
Hey, the Polaroid Captiva shoots on Polaroid 500 Film and i have not seen one of these films in working condition in years.
Analog Things yeah I was doing some research and everything for the camera is discontinued. What a shame..
Can u do a polaroid 660 auto focus camera i have one but im confused
did you take a look at my polaroid 600 video? 600 cameras are almost all the same
Analog Things oh ok thank you!
Couldn’t you technically buy 1 600 pack and 1 i type pack and save a bit by putting frames into the 600 pack when that finishes, in the dark?
yes, watch my video on polaroid battery
Analog Things cheating the system is great!
How much do they run for
Is Polaroid doing sx70 film of are people buy old stock...
+April Hickox hey april, sorry but i dont get that, what are you saying?
I am wondering if Poloroid is making the film for xs 70 again, In the past you had to get old stock and the films were often expired
+April Hickox Yes, the new company is called Polaroid Originals and the original company was Impossible, the company that bought the last polaroid factory.
Ok thanks very much. You have been helpful.
Mmmm, should've thrown picture examples for next time.
its hard since polaroid films change with every new batch
Analog Things oh okay good stuff tho!
399,-- bei Saturn...sx70
Those Fuji cameras don't have the penalty of the mirror. Much better to have the image go directly from the lens to the film instead of hitting a mirror where any piece of dust or flaw is a penalty!
It can do flesh
WTF did he say his name was? Thanks whoever you are for making this video.
Who has Polaroid 600 sun lms
As much as I want to support Polaroid I cannot justify spending 20 dollars on film that’s only going to give me 8 photos and extremely unpredictable.
i get your point, it's even hard for me but i love the manipulation options of it
lol he forgot the Polaroid one step close up
I am glad Polaroid lost that lawsuit. Imagine thinking you can own a square.
Dude is 60 or 16 euros ? 90 or 19 ?
too many jump cuts. hard to watch. when you see edit it means it is a bad edit
just random thoughts
Thanks for the feedback.
11 god damn minutes & not 1 pictures taken by a polaroid
Wow, you are somewhat delusional if you consider $0.85 for 1 mini-photo to be cheap...Cheap compared to what??
Yeah for this type of photography. It is instant and light. It not checp but for this style it is.
