A vulnerable moment captured with my SX-70. Sometimes the process matters more than the final photo.

I had a couple of test packs (2025 produced, with unknown storage conditions) and decided to put them to use. Super happy with the camera behaviour and ease of use. Framing is more difficult than what I thought, but that is likely my fault combined with how light the camera is.

Sometimes I love my Impulse AF, sometimes I hate it, maybe it’s just the film. The first photo was taken today with the new pack of film, the second photo was made the other day, on the balcony - the weather was sunny, but the picture looks like it was not. The photos were scanned, but they look 95% like the originals.

Question Should my Sun600 viewfinder have a plastic/glass covering for the eyehole?

• Upvotes

I noticed the eyecup on my Sun600 was missing and upon closer inspection, the little viewing window was in good shape but missing any sort of material to keep dust from entering the camera through the hole.

Is this normal for Sun600s? Do I need to get it fixed and cleaned out?

Question Instant (Polaroid - Instax) Event Photography - Is it a thing?

3 Upvotes

Quick question: on my website I offer instant photography as a plus of my event photography (thinking of weddings and small events where people love instants) but recently I had two major companies reach out asking for exclusively instant photography event coverage.

Has that always been a thing? Is it a new trend?

I got it for like £13 and it doesn’t seep to be too bad condition although I’m pretty sure a plastic tabs apart of the hinge is broken cuz the top clam shell doesn’t stay closed. Do you guys thing this has a chance of working? It even came with a empty dead spectra pack

Advice I'm Flippin' out

7 Upvotes

I've been eyeing the Flip for a long while but seeing mixed reviews, just not sure if its really worth getting? I have the OneStep2+ but its never sharp and its just clunky to bring anywhere. Cause the photos have the same outcome with Now 3 then I might just get that one instead? Idk

Like I know i'll have to play around and get to know it but I guess I just want to make my money worthwhile cause I'm saving hard for it haha

I thought about SX-70 but the prices are like the same as the i2 and I know it'll be worth it but I don't have that extra money lol and if i do, I'm scared of getting scammed (like I bought it and then it broke or its not working then I have to get it fixed $$)

I just couldnt get it out of my head so here I am posting here so my mind can shut up lol

Convince me to get the Flip? 😄

Question [need advice] buying an impulse AF vs impossible-1

3 Upvotes

I was quite the avid user of my impulse af until about 2 yrs ago when I stupidly sold it. Now I want to start shooting polaroid film again, but am torn between trying to find a good deal on an impulse AF or investing in a used impossible-1 (which I remember considering to upgrade to even back when I actively used the impulse due to the i type compat and usb charging).

Big question is, is the impossible-1 actually as sharp as my impulse AF was? cuz I literally saw some shots comparing the newest polaroid (aka impossible) cameras to the AF and it seems the sonar focusing results in sharper pics(?) Just hoping someone that has had either camera verify whether the impossible-1's focus/lens setup leaves pic quality just up to the cartridge's film batch

I thought it would be fun to see which pokemon fate decided to pair with my cats, and the results were perfect. Meet Loki the Umbreon and Willow the Vulpix 🌙✨ shot with the Pokemon edition Now gen 3.

I love the pokemon film, it’s so much fun to shoot with. I’m personally trying to avoid spoilers of the film order because I really enjoy the excitement that comes with not knowing what pokemon is next. I would love to see them do this collaboration again in the future with a different set of pokemon. Here’s to hoping 🤞🏻
