I always say that EVERY camera needs a self timer!!! I have used Polaroid self timers since the 70s both peel apart and SX70 ... I was inspired by Lucas Samaras and Les Krims as a teen!!! The self timer is also awesome if you know you are making a long exposure and don't want shake!!!
I managed to get my hands on one of those vintage self timers for the SX-70 (the #132), and I found it funny that it has to manually press the shutter button instead of connecting to the remote port
Those cables and buttons are probably better than what I currently do lol. I use my sonar and have the sx-70 on a tripod, meaning I can’t move more than an arm pull away from my camera for a self-portrait!
Question on the BFC remote shutter. I just got one in the mail and was curious about long exposures. If you hold the button down, does it prolong the exposure? I accidently did that for my test selfie photo with a new (to me) SX-70 Sonar and the photo came out blurry. Wondering if it's the sonar or if I accidently moved during a long exposure. It was the last pic in the film pack and didn't want to load up another if the camera needs worked on. Thanks to anyone that can help!

why are are mostly all of this channels videos with the sx-70?
We're Polaroid SX-70 specialists here at BFC, and one of the few businesses in the world repairing them on a daily basis.
Why does it cost 40 bucks to solider two wires to a push button?
ive got an original polaroid self timer. do they trigger the auto focus?
@@ThePolaroid669 it’s never too late. Thankyou kind person 🫡
Why standard version is measured in feet but the other two versions are measured in meters 🎉
We respect all measurements.
Yellow round frames?
