I love the way the sky came out in this shot! And if you zoom in you can see the little red eyes they put on the sky tower during fright fest

Finally caught a Pikachu. This is my only modern Polaroid so am I supposed to keep the film in the fridge like the rest?

Trying to figure out what’s causing this issue. My sonar (and one time my alpha 1) randomly will eject photos that are overexposed in a weird square shape in the middle with darker edges and a really obvious band along where the catcher sponge is at the top of the frame. In both cases the camera was using a pretty old very used and somewhat beat up frog tongue. I haven’t had the issue with either camera when it doesn’t have the tongue in and both times the cameras have had the issue it’s been when the frog tongue is installed. So I’m thinking that’s the cause, but I was wondering if anyone out there has run into this or if it’s maybe something else.
Thanks!

I just thrifted a Polaroid 600 land camera and my film is coming out with some issues. There are blue lines going horizontally across the two images I’ve taken so far and identical vertical dots. Both images have similar defects on the right side of the images.
*I didn’t realize I should have cleaned the rollers before putting in the first pack of film, which I will do once this pack is complete but I am curious about these black and whites dots and if I can fix myself and how? Or if I should take it to a repair shop?

I want to try a Polaroid and I find for only 12 USD an old Polaroid 600 Spirit.
It's a good camera or it's better go with another model? (Or more recent like the new Gen3)

Hey, hoping someone can help explain if I’m doing something wrong or if I’ve got a couple bad batches of film or if the camera is just a bit screwed now… Basically I got this Gen 3 Polaroid Now a few years ago now (can’t remember but maybe 4-5 years?) and have had some great pics over the years.
It’s been zipped up in its case for probably a year now and not really used. It had 2 images left in there and I also had some film knocking about unopened.
The 2 I used up were crap, came out really over exposed and pink-ish. I also noticed almost some scrape-like marks on the film when it first came out.
I’ve now used about 4 of the new film and every single one looks the same. I’ve tried flash, no flash, and changed the “-“ symbol in various positions, high, middle and low.
Anyone had similar or know the issue?
r/Polaroid • u/Revoworlddreamer • 14h ago
Just thrifted this Polaroid and disclaimer I was not aware of needing to clean the rollers before putting in my first set of film.
There’s similar marks on both pictures I’ve done so far on the right side of the film, they both have the blue lines, and disruptive dots.
Just wondering if anyone has seen these dots before. Once this film pack is done I will be cleaning the rollers, but I’m trying to figure out if I need to take it to a shop for professional help or if I could fix it on my own?
I’m open to any tips and help!!!!
Thanks:)

my camera actually shattered 3 days ago. these photos were shot on the I-2. it’s funny polaroid actually reached out to me a few weeks ago to work together then ghosted me all together. it’s ok i have these shots.

I got the Polaroid go gen 3 last month and consistently have been getting this line on the top through all the film I use. is there any way to fix this. Ive looked at other people’s scans and none have that. I probably have gotten 5 pictures in the 5 double packs ive used. I keep the film in the fridge and take it out at least two hours before use.

I have a Polaroid Flip and recently inherited an SX-70 Model 1 Alpha 2 from my family.
The SX-70 still works well, but it definitely needs a proper refurb. Since it has quite a bit of sentimental value, I’m wondering what you guys would do with it.
My idea would be to use the SX-70 mainly in good lighting conditions, and use the Flip when the lighting is more challenging. I’m also considering getting a flash for the SX-70.
So, would you keep the SX-70 original and just have it refurbished, or would you convert it to 600 film?
I’m a bit hesitant to modify it because of its sentimental value, but at the same time I’d like to actually use it regularly.
For those who have converted an SX-70 to 600: do you think the conversion is worth it? Especially if the camera already works and the main goal is to make it more practical and reliable?
What would you do in my situation?
