Great video!! I love the shots you got & your sense of humor. A quick tip: those streaks on the film aren’t light leaks. Those streaks usually happen after you’ve put a few film packs through the SX-70 and there is a build up of extra developer fluid on the rollers that push the film out. All you have to do is clean your rollers and you won’t get anymore of those streaks. Sometimes I intentionally don’t clean the rollers on my SX-70 when I want those streaks on the film. I think it’s a cool effect now and again :)
Jack Martin thanks for your comment! And I think you might actually be right, it might also be developer build up on the rollers. I have thought about it as well but it was after finishing the video haha, I will have to check on that. Just the position and size of the streaks looked like light sneaked into the pack from above. Either way, I like the effect :)
@@KarinMajokaHello. The artifacts on your photos look more like a opacifier failure. This happens because the modern Impossible/Polaroid Originals film is still sensitive to light after being ejected from the camera. They reverse-engineered the chemical composition of the original Polaroid film and IMHO have still some research to do until the modern formula matches the original old Polaroid film. The modern film has a higher ISO than the old original (around 160 vs 100), so it is advised to use the exposure compensation regularly. The photocell of the SX70 also ages differently in every model, depending on usage and storage, so there is no general rule for adjusting the compensation. The blue opacification layer does not block all of the sunlight, which leads to the blue/white streaks. You can install a frog tongue (=film shield, sold in versions for folding SX70 and box-type cameras) or very quickly take the ejected photos and put them in a dark place/bag until the development reaction has finished. Polaroid Support has a description of all image errors, which include the marks shown on your pictures. Dirty rollers produce more regular patterns on the ejected photos, so its still a good idea to check your rollers from time to time and clean them if any chemicals from the Polaroid pods have leaked as mentioned above. I also noticed that the motor of your SX-70 seems to show some signs of age (pre-failure condition) as it audibly struggled on several occasions to quickly transport the pictures or eject the dark slide.
Can guarantee those are not due to dirty rollers. If they were then it would be more like a repeating pattern of identical and evenly spaced out dots across the entire length of the picture, like a pearl necklace almost. One dot for everytime the affected part of the roller touches the picture
I really like the feel of these videos! Particularly the aspect of a complete start to finish process where we get to see all the shots of a shoot, even those that didn't turn out! And like you mentioned that ripped apart emulsion image looks really cool :)
With Polaroid film it's only eight shots, so showing them all is quite manageable within one video :) But yes, I also think that it's important to not cut the mistakes out but leave them in to discuss and learn!
Your style of content is really Fantastic Your channel really stands out in the analog photography community on UA-cam which is not an easy thing to achieve lol Great job!!!
Bro, that's too much of a compliment too handle, I am blushing! Seriously thanks for your kind words, this means a lot. Can't wait for a new video of yours btw. :)
Great vid! I usually make portraits with Polaroid, and I use a SLR680 with built in flash. I like to get quite close to my subjects, and most often the it turns out good. I’m happy Polaroid originals got the emulsion to be better than the impossible film. I hope you make more Polaroid videos!
Thanks for the video, I learnt a lot! I was given one of these cameras as a retirement present and as I usually shoot with a Canon 5D mkIV I needed some instruction! It’s fun to try old kit, but the film is so expensive I think it will get used on special occasions!
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it! It’s true, Polaroid is sadly really expensive - around 2€ for only one shot. But some special occasions are priceless and then it’s surely worth using something special as Polaroid for it :)
I liked your photos and the color palette of that film is very relaxing but I think that I'd grow tired of it pretty quickly if I had one. But what I really want to know is, in the plaza all of the people were there in shorts a T-shirts and you're dressed as though you were on a walk in Iceland. Did you end up regretting dressing so warmly?
Seriously, a comment about clothing? 😂😅 where I live in Germany the weather can change quickly and even though it looked warm in the sun it was really fresh in the shade, so my choice was adequate
Very nice pictures! Karin, I just got an SX-70 camera from my sister. I ordered SX-70 film and am very excited when it does arrive to try out the camera. Hopefully it will be great. I am a sports writer/photographer from Michigan, USA and I am used to using digital equipment. But the SX-70 will be a great adventure. i hope you are having a great day and I think your pictures were awesome. I am watching as many videos of the SX-70 as i can. Jerome from Owosso, MI.
Hey Jerome, congrats on your newly acquired SX-70! I am sure you will enjoy shooting with it. I know that the film is not cheap, but for special occasions it’s worth it. Have fun doing some more research and that camera and of course have fun shooting with it! :)
@@KarinMajoka Thank you Karin. Your videographer did a great job of catching you and your landscapes perfectly. Your honesty and sincerity genuinely come across. I am used to shooting hundreds of pictures at a time as a sports photographer covering high school football and high school basketball, volleyball, swimming, track and field, etic. The SX-70 makes a person think about what shots are important and try to make the best of them. I will be receiving my film hopefully in the next few weeks. I ordered it from B & H Photo in New York, N.Y. I only ordered one package just to see if the camera works or not. I understand that there is no on/off switch since the battery comes with the film. I was born in 1962 so I remember somewhat when the camera first came out. But i wasn't paying much attention to tell you the truth but the opportunity to explore this camera is something special. The shots may not be as crisp and sharp as a Canon digital which I have ( i recently purchased a $600 lens) but I will tell you how I like the camera when the film comes in.
I tried manually pulling Polaroids through the roller assembly of a broken SX-70 once, and the photos looked a bit like that, but yours was way cooler. Also, my only guess for the blank one was the exposure compensation wheel, too. Great video!
@@KarinMajoka You're welcome! I made a little tab with tape and put that through the roller then pulled ... kind of like the peel apart stuff. All in a dark bag so it was extra difficult. ha ha.
Jamie Maldonado right, I forgot that all this must happen in a darkbag, pretty fiddley but super interesting! Do you do more experimental Polaroid stuff? :)
@@KarinMajoka Extremely fiddley. ha. I've done a handful of emulsion lifts and was just thinking the other day if a kitchen rolling pin might work. haha. Not a ton, but some, especially when ideas come to mind.
@@KarinMajoka Interestingly enough, I just had a camera malfunction on me today, wasting 4 Polaroids. I pressed the packs into the picture area with my thumbs and it created a pretty cool abstract effect. If I did it with a loading bag, it might be something that has an image in some areas.
A few things that are unfortunate here. The film is getting old, the opacifier separates as it ages and streaks as it spreads, allowing light to get through to the negative, which gives complete exposure in those areas, which is what causes the blue/white lines in the photo. Always shield Polaroid film that is getting close to expiration, for fresh film, it’s not a problem, a clean spread of opacifier will ensure the light stays out until the photo has developed and is safe to develop in light. Though never leave it in direct sunlight, that has never been recommended. Keep developing pictures warm, 13°c or above, don’t let them develop in cold, below 13°c as they will either not develop ay all or come out with a very blue and washed out haze. The second thing to note is the camera is in need of service/repair, so it won’t be doing it’s best job but you addressed this. Hope this helps.
Great video! You may need to get your camera some CLA, or you can clean the exacting rollers with some alcohol and cleaning paper. Still great photos, that camera creates great photo, and so do you!
If you haven’t already, I’d highly suggest a frog tongue to cover the shots when they come out of the camera. My guess why that one was way over exposed is that 1) The light meter wheel was too far in the white, and 2), it appears that when you took it out of the camera and put it in your pocket it was exposed to direct sunlight for like 3 or 4 seconds. This has a tendency to over expose images. Especially on film as light sensitive as SX-70 film.
TIP: When shooting on your sx-70 make sure you press the shutter and hold untill the photo is fully ejected. That is the proper way to use this camera.
This also differs between several models of the SX-70/alpha/1-2, depending on the installed shutter assembly. There is a former polaroid employee on reddit which is very knowledgeable about the technical details.
Your camera’s motor is completely f*k up. That’s why it failed sometimes. Second of all the “light leaks” are not light leaks, it are chemical streaks from the film. It’s how the film was back then, that has been resolved now. You need an Polaroid frog tongue to protect your photo’s from light when they come out of the camera. The film is extremely light sensitive when it ejects from the camera
Sadly yes, especially when they have not been used for a long time. But at the same time the random and unexpected results are what makes it so fun. :)
Polaroid Week ('Roid Week) happened just last week and I ended up going through 5 cartridges of Instax film in my SQ6 :D Quite easy to do!!! Still have a cartridge of B&W Instax film left. Going to buy some more colour film for my SQ6, probably tomorrow or next week sometime. Found my brother's old Kodak Ektralite 10 camera awhile back, so I just bought some 110 film (Lomo Tiger), to run through it. See how it goes :D
@@KarinMajoka that and the new impossible/polaroid SX70 film is a hair faster than the original so some degree of turning the dial to darken everything overall is required (not a science since there's a bit of play and typical of classic non-ttl dumb meters = depends on what you are pointing the camera at)
This film has a look that works for some things, but I miss shooting the old polaroid 600. 600 in a (modified) sx70 can look quite sharp with great color. This new film doesn’t really do justice to the camera.
That’s what I heard - I think the „old“ stock of Polaroid film is now identical to what’s used by Fuji in their instax Films, isn’t it? Polaroid Originals had to develops their own film again after starting over.
@@KarinMajoka I'm not sure if Instax is the same, but it does have a similar look. Too bad no Instax camera is as cool as the SX-70. I've never really understood why Impossible Project had to reinvent the film from scratch. I thought it was due to Polaroid patents, but now that they bought the Polaroid name, I don't know. I suppose Polaroid may have sold off any valuable IP they had in the years when they were mainly just a brand name that was licensed to sell cheap electronics or whatever.
Anders Keis Hansen I watched some videos comparing SX70 and instax wide film and I have to admit that I often preferred the Instax images - so good choice, despite the camera aesthetics issue! ;)
Hi. Could someone tell me if it's possible to change from colour cartridge to a black & white cartridge half way through a cartridge? Will the light get into the remaining blank film that I have ejected from the camera.
Sometimes the opacification layer on the film, fails... but I've never seen a blown out photo if it was opacification failure. Could just be those pesky photo Gremlins making an appearance.
Hey, so at 4:53 you got a weird looking polaroid, this happened to me a while back, so I scanned them and I have the one with a description as a wall paper on my computer imgur.com/gallery/XeRgxvB
Oh no, hope not, what makes you think that? :o I think the stuck image was a film pack problem (it was actually the first one of the pack i shot, just edited it to the end for better flow), I think the pack's battery was already rather exhausted due to film testing a bunch of ofter SX-70s.Never had that issue before and from the second shot on everything worked perfectly smooth again. :)
Karin Majoka Ok, then it was the battery. I just thought the camera just sounded so tired when you put the pack in. The camera should be rather quick when ejecting film, the whole cycle should take about 1,5 seconds from when the exposure is done until the picture is fully out, if that makes sense. By the way great video!
@@ianbakke Yes, you are absolutely right, it is pretty slow there. But apart from the dark sheet and the first shot on this pack it was always quick in ejecting film in all other shots and film packs I used, so I hope it was only this pack in particular as suspected. But I will keep an eye on it during the next one! Thanks. :)
@@KarinMajoka Did you shoot a lot more pictures since then? What city are you shooting? Must be a nice place in Europe. Seems like you have a nice accent, nice job. I work for a newspaper in Michigan.
Jerome Murphy I shot some after that, but I don’t think another pack of color but only black and white. I live in the West of Germany in a City called Münster. :) that’s so cool that you work for a newspaper, must be a pretty exciting job
is not only light leak, you camera rollers seems to be dirty. the image quality is very poor i though at this point polaroid would already improve chemicals quality... And sorry if I sound like an asshole, but camera or film deffects doesn't make "artsy" photos unless there is a concept link to it... youg people please understand that not everything you do is art, just because... RAISE THE BAR OF YOUR SELF CRITICISM and lower the your ego.

You can get rid of/greatly reduce those light streaks with a "frog tongue".
Thanks for the advice, I should probably get one!
They are actually results of not cleaning the rollers, hope it helps

Wherever you are on this globe currently, fingers crossed this will be (safely!) possible soon! :)
Hmmm, that with the cogs would be a great idea for a mechanism on the camera that evokes this effect of getting stuck in the film.
