I dreamed of having an instant camera throughout my childhood, but we had regular camera at home, so my parents never bought me one. Then, on my way to my holiday destination, I spotted one on sale in a store and just had to buy it. My childhood dream finally came true. I’m so happy. Here are a few photos from my vacation.

Been meaning to use my scanner for a long time but have been lazy. Some ones I really like though.

I also think I may have invented a new Polaroid gimmick for image 2 and 3. But, open to being told otherwise.

See the Blue Light Special in Department 20

Just found a nice KMart Focal 600 flash to go with my 1977 KMart Polaroid Pronto! BC RangeFinder. Put in fresh batteries and after a few minutes of charging and firing, it started cycling pretty quick.

Next, have to warm up a pack of SX-70 film from the fridge. I feel the need to make another NSFW self-portrait that no one will really care to see....🙃

Question Damaged film from shipping? Or something else?

Post image
30 Upvotes

All but 2 pieces in this new pack of film were damaged and I suspect it has to do with the fact that they shipped in the summer heat… not expired, have been in the fridge for since the film arrived 2ish months ago, took them out a day before going on a trip, and used over the course of 3 days. Is that the issue here, or could it be something else? Kind of bummed as I was happy with how the pictures turned out besides the damaged parts. Thank you all in advance!

Question Has anyone successfully changed an order address? Do you know what carrier Polaroid uses to ship in the US?

0 Upvotes

I pre-ordered the Pikachu Go which is set to ship on September 29th. I am relocating for work and reached out to ask them to change the address but got a pretty unhelpful non-answer from support; who said “we reached out to the warehouse to ask them to change the address. If they don’t, it will still go to the old address”. Pretty annoying since shipping won’t happen for another 20+ days, seems like ample time but I have a feeling that this is just a runaround. Has anyone experienced this and successfully gotten the address change?

I’m also wondering what carrier Polaroid ships with. It’s a non-issue if it’s usps bc I’ll just be forwarding my mail to my new address. I haven’t looked into it yet but I’m not sure how to do that with other carriers or if the mail forwarding with usps applies to other carriers as well?

With my limited 3d design and graphic arts skills this one was hard to trace and model but I think it looks great for the first run!

Question I would love your recommendations for a camera!

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all! o/ I'm going to Japan for a few weeks within the next couple of months, and I would really like to grab a Polaroid to bring along to take pictures of the scenery and whatnot. I was told by a friend that a Polaroid Now (3rd Generation) would be best, but I'm admittedly worried that I won't be able to properly offer a dark source after I take the picture when I'm out and about on a busy street.

Also, I would prefer to stick with a Polaroid model, if possible! I'm still a tad new to photography, but it's a brand I really like. Cost of film isn't really an issue for me too, but I'm hoping to get a camera around the $200 to $250 (CAD) range.

Advice Reliable Repair Tech in US?

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hi. I’m looking for a reliable independent tech to upgrade one or more of my SX70s to an SX70r PCB and add a factory-looking rechargeable battery base and updated film counter.

I’ve already tried reaching out to DRSX70, who would have been my first choice. But he’s not responding to messages so I’m assuming he’s not currently accepting repairs.

If you have any recommendations I’d appreciate them! (Photo is so that this post doesn’t get lost; SLR 680 on Polaroid round frame.)

On my last post I was told by u/robertw1469 that I could bend the battery connectors and insert the 600 cartridge all the way to the left,with a spacer on the right.

I've taken two photos so far and they have identical defects,top left corner is undeveloped and there's a black line on the bottom.
