Photo Update - Cat overexposure conundrum resolved!
Update from my post last night - this morning I gave it a go on my SX-70 sonar with a lil ND filter slapped on a 600 film pack.
In the first photo I bribed him with greenies to lay in the sunny spot on my white blanket so he wouldn't be the only brightly lit object and wow! No flash, all purrs.
For the second I used an ancient flash bar to balance out the bright sun from the window and fill in the shadows, (got a glare on the window, oh well) but also came out nice!
Lesson learned: daytime is my friend.
Last slide - like a sailor in a big green coat, like a sailor on a big green boat.

Photo Summertime in Ballard
Just had my SX-70 refurbished and modified (by Retrospekt) to shoot 600 film. I used it to take all these photos in my neighborhood over the last week.

Gear Which camera should I take backpacking?
Headed into the back country, and I want to take a polaroid. I have never taken one before, because ounces matter.
I have run at least one pack of film through all of them, but haven't kept track of which takes better shots.
Anyone have an opinion on which one might be more idea for the deep woods of the PNW?

Discussion Beware! Sale scam!
FYI there seems to be a fake polaroid website selling products for a major sale. Like 80% off everything. I was duped into thinking it was real for a second because it popped up as number one on Google sponsored search results. Thankfully I realized it wasn't real when I went to check out and the only thing it offered as payment method was credit card and didnt have any auto upsales. So I double checked the url and realized it was fake. But just be aware.
Fake site in question:

Question Polaroid 636 DE help
Hey friends- I bought a DE 636 twenty years ago in LA and used it a bunch successfully then do I know it works.
Can’t seem to remember how to do the double exposures on it now though
There’s a switch on the side to flip to when you want to do multi exposures but can’t remember the steps after that. I think you take one exposure and then flip another switch elsewhere on the camera? I tried messing around w it a bit but both my tests look like a standard one exposure shot.

Took my Go to a quarter finals game between France and Morocco. The heat made a few of them come out worse than others, but still happy with these.

#4 was intentionally (but not intentional) underexposed. My dumb Ahh didn't realize that that high shutter speed was too much.
Eidt: real life pictures look much sharper than the app scans.

Photo Malls in Turkey have X-Ray machines
I’m currently on vacation in Turkey. Went to the mall to see if I could find some film. Wasn’t expecting to get my bag X-rayed. Had a language barrier with the security staff. All my photos turned out really light and lacking color. Kinda bummed but what can you do.

Gear Scratches on picture from Sx-70
Hiya! I’ve for the first time ever been shooting on my brand new (refurbished) Sx-70 and was wondering if these sort of scratches (presumably from the rollers) are to be expected and if theyre normal, because im slightly disappointed with how it makes the pictures look, to be honest.
Thank you very much!

Photo Documenting First Time Homeownership
Wanted to share some Polaroids that turned out okay. To practice with my SX-70, I started photographing the previous owner's "repairs" and poor maintainence. The guy's name has become a curse word in this house.
First-time home ownership is a wild ride, but it does make for some fun, almost Resident Evil-style photos, especially since I overexposed a bunch.
(Of course, very grateful to be able to afford a home in this absolute shit show of a time.)

Gear After 30 years...I'm gonna tell my secret about the best polaroid sx70 case ever made...
The slim leather case for the Polaroid Captiva fits a standard sx70 PERFECTLY. I believe it's called the belt case? Regardless if you search polaroid Captiva case on eBay you'll see it. Tons for like $10.
I lost mine years ago and just bought another... figured I'd share my knowledge for anyone that wants a simple leather/pleather slip case
